Outlook Alternatives
I've just bought a new laptop and I had an old version of Office 2007 on an enterprise licence that I can't transfer to the new one (at least with ease) because the licence has been used. I've replaced a lot of it with OpenOffice but I'm looking for an alternative email handler that I can import my old PST file into.
Any suggestions
Cheers
Jon

It's only £109 LOL
Thunderbird is no longer supported, everything else I've looked at for a client is awful.
Total Cost of Ownership keeps rising with PC's.

I have a lot of stuff saved in folders on my Outlook which I still need to access. If I could import them into a cloud based email handler then great but I can only find info on exporting from webmail/cloud accounts and not info on how to import it back in.

IIRC there is an extension to import .pst and most other formats: http://postbox-inc.com/extensions

.pst I'd be surprised. This might help http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home.aspx

Complete minefield. Pretty sure I installed the Outlook trial, added an account and imported the .pst file, added a Gmail account then drag and drop from the Outlook account to the Gmail account.

If your place of work has signed up to Microsoft Home Use Program you can have the full Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus suite for £8.95. Bargain!

Do as I did, install the trial, add a gmail account, open your .PST drag and drop the gmail account. I don't think there's an easier way. Microsoft are buggers.

Have your work moved to Office365 licensing for Office? That might explain why the home use is no longer available.
If so, your o355 license is good for 5 installations so you might be able to install office 2013 for nought.
I've still got an Outlook soft spot, even for managing cloud based mail.

Pretty complete list of options you have, if you wanted to use Thunderbird... Some are also true for other clients.

I really do like my outlook as it is a file store in it's own right and a lot more intuitive than Explorer...
