Re: [Evolution] PST interoperability

[FC Truter <fc truter gmail com>]

Hi everyone,

Sorry, didn't realise Evolution had support for this already, this is fantastic news. The last time I checked - admittedly this was in Ubuntu 9.04 - the only way to impost PST files was through the Windows version of Thunderbird. This feature should be more widely advertised, since this is regarded by many as the final hurdle to breaking MS Office dependence for new users coming from a Windows environment. 

Kind regards,

FC Truter

I don't understand. Evolution has had support for this for ages,
hasn't it? Are there any problems with Evolutions PST-support that I
don't know of? What would warrant such a sprint?

In 2.28, at least, you can simply use File > Import and then choose
"From a single file".
