Now Microsoft have opened up their PST file format (Microsoft Outlook) so it can be accessed without the use of proprietary APIs, do you think we will see Evolution/Thunderbird being able to import/export from it properly?
It would be a nice feature to be able to share an address book, mail accounts and calendar between Outlook and Evolution on a dual-boot system, in the same way I can share a Firefox profile.

UGH, pst's.... let it die!

That was the bane of my existence in windows support way back, trying to fix someones 2-3GB broken PST file. It takes HOURS!

What thunderbird/Evolution uses HAS to be better. It wouldn't take much to be better than PST.
