Outlook 2011 (Mac OS X - Lion) can export everything into (!pst) .olm
I haven't no clue whether .olm and .pst are one and the same, but I highly
doubt.
With Outlook 2011, the guys at Redmond intended to lock the user to
Outlook! I have seen Outlook->Apple Mail migration procedures fraught with
e-mail loses. Well, not quite a loss because you still have the e-mail
inside Outlook, but that idea of running Outlook side-by-side with Apple
Mail is not what I want to subject the user to. I also don't want to make
them start searching for the e-mails that might not have been migrated and
forward them to themselves. Migration should be complete & safe - no
losses. There are commercial software out there that's said to be good at
this process, but I wanted the "free"method.
If there is *readpst *that can migrate from .olm to mbox, then I am willing
to give it a shot, but I also want to see if Dovecot gets a fix for
whatever problem I am facing.
