How to read Microsft Outlook (not Express) email archive in .PST fotmat?

Asked by Uqbar

I am running Ubuntu, Kubuntu actually, and KMail as the email client.
I have a backup of my old .PST email archive (Outlook 2003) and would need to access it somehow.
I don't have access to any Windows machine so most of the direction I got so far as useless to me.
Is there a way to access that .PST file?

TIA

No way with Kmail, but Thunderbird.
You can try with this:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/pstimportplugin/?branch_id=72191&release_id=265973
but this works with Thunderbird, then you can move from Thunderbird to kmail (if you want it).
you can download it from:
http://obm.org/doku.php?id=downloads:binaries:binariesdownloadslist
Once downloaded, you must decompress the file and then install it on Thunderbird.
Hope this helps, let me know.

The actual answer (that proved to work for me) is to download and compile libpst (http://www.sf.net/projects/ol2mbox
) with related tools.
