Evolution - Add extra import filters for outlook and outlook express.
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:59:08 UTC
Please add with urgency an import filter for outlook .PST files and outlook express .dbx files. The only way I have found to import emails into Evolution is as follows 1. Export email from outlook to outlook express 2. Import email into outlook express. 3. Open Kmail and import outlook express emails. 4. Select each folder in Kmail > select ALL emails >File save as berkel mail box files 5. Open Evolution 6. Import berkely mail box format from exported files from Kmail. From a commercial Point of view it is imperative that you can import an Outlook .PST file. I dont know any organization who uses outlook express. From a home user point of view the importation from outlook express is required. Your choice, however I would strongly suggest importation filters for both. As you can see from above procedure it is not impossible, but with thousands of emails and perhaps multiple personal folder and perhaps multiple .pst files it is a real struggle.
