Hi all,

I want to import from a outlook.pst file into Thunderbird. It has an import function. All goes well till the datafile is searched for by Thunderbird. It is obviously looking for an Outlook installation and the default *.pst file it refers to. There is however no Office installed at all on the system. How can Thunderbird be told which file to import from by manually selecting the *.pst file?

Another option. You could try readpst.

Thanx for the suggestions. I tried the various methods of your first mail. Eventually I managed to import the mails and addressbook with Thundebird's import tool directly from Outlook 2003 (MAPI calls) on the PC that will be replaced (described here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_.pst_files) I also want to use Lightning (Calander), but exporting Outlooks calender and importing it into Lightning did not work. I will try some more and report my progress. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
