Escaping Outlook
Linux tips & tricks
This brief article gives a couple of suggestions for moving from Outlook to Thunderbird, a great move for anyone, but essential for migrating from Windows to Linux.
While the article does have some ideas, there are some even better ones in the comments.
Personally I've done this many times and I usually use a tool to convert PST to MBOX, then export contacts to CSV, and go.
However, often an even easier option is to install Thunderbird on the same Windows box running your Outlook and tell it to import mail and settings from Outlook. Then copy the Thunderbird files over to the Linux box.

Once upon a time I was big on using Evolution in place of Outlook. IIRC it even works with PST files
ReplyDeleteI'm using KMail these days as there still seems to be a bug in Thunderbird where it just stops getting mail after a couple of days of runtime and you have to restart it ... if you remember. KMail is quite nice anyway of course.
