Open Pst in thunderbird

I have a pst file which contains all my outlook backups. I want to import those mails into my thunderbird in Ubuntu 10.10. Though I can import it using Evolution mail client. But i like to stick to thunderbird. Any ideas, suggestios ?

Solution 1:

Atlast i imported my outlook 2007 backup files into thunderbird using readpst. No other solutions worked for me.

1.sudo apt-get install readpst

2.readpst -r pstfilename

Changes the output format to Recursive. This will create folders as named in the PST file, and will put all emails in a file called "mbox" inside each folder. These files are then compatible with all mbox-compatible email clients.Then just imported the mbox file into thunderbird and i got my mails back

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 Thunderbird 3.1.8
