convert .pst outlook files to eudora .mbx files

[glendacom]

I have a user who is moving from MS Outlook to Eudora and I need to convert all of her existing email files (.pst) currently in Outlook to Eudora files (.mbx). Anyone have an idea as to how to do this? I tried using Eudora's import feature but it only brings in the folders not any of the mail. Sometimes I get a memory exception error when trying to do the import.

You were on the right track, the import function is the way to do it, the only way as far as I know. It normally brings the messages as well as the mailboxes. Only thing I can think of in your case is, are the mailboxes very large? Some people never clean out their old mail and end up with megabytes of junk. Try cleaning up the mailboxes in Outlook first, also make sure Outlook is not running when you do the import. Help us to help you, please post back and tell us if this helped.
All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

Hi there,

to the problem of importing mails and contacts from outlook´s pst to most linux/unix based mail clients there is some helpful information to find at the ximian support page here
