Question OE - Importing .pst files - How??

I saved my old OE address books as .pst files as I was intending to run Microsoft Outlook on my new pc rather than OE, anyway Outlook was a nightmare and BTInternet didn't support it and it wouldnt set up properly so I reverted to OE which works fine but I can't see how to Import a .pst file.

Any Guru's out there with any ideas ??

Cheers

Dave

you can always export from Outlook as comma separated values - and then import in OE.

I dont think the pst file includes your address book though - Im sure its just all the personal folder of mail.

It is quite unbelievable that two closely linked products do not interact with eachother isnt it!

I don't think OE can open a PST.

You need to find a PC with Outlook on to re-export the PST as a CSV - or even better OE can "import mail from outlook" as one of the wizzards if you can do it on the same box.
