migrating my e-mail should be easy
Written by

I install Ubuntu, but Evolution can't read my old Outlook/Outlook Express e-mail! Is this the dark ages?
I figured out how to convert my e-mail (readpst) - but I'm a geek who likes solving problems like that. To attract non-geeks, it must be easier!

Selected solution (#1):
Create a library to convert to/from many formats
Written by

Use a library to convert all the e-mail formats: Outlook, OE, Apple Mail, Notes, Evolution, Thunderbird, etc. Including login data, mailboxes, archives, address book/contacts and calendars.
Full-featured clients like Evolution and Thunderbird can use the library and write their own wrappers to get near-universal import and export.
Since it's a library, small e-mail clients can get the same benefit.
A standalone installation script can use the library to migrate a user's e-mail and settings on a fresh install.

lets just point evolution at the .pst files from the windows pc & let it import the data itself in one simple step
saves a lot of time wasting for sure
just need someone to write the program/plugin now

kmail and evolution are open source projects
cant we just copy/paste the import routine and modify it abit from kmail and add it to evolution so we can import mail directly without going thru imap or thunderbird first
