I have found a nice way to go from a pst (Outlook) to Evolution.

1. Just install thunderbird on the windows box.
2. import you settings and mail into thunderbird.
3. Go to Docs and Settings/User/AppSettings/Thunderbird and get all the mBox files (no extension)
4. Save them to ubuntu box
5. Import them into Evolution.
6. Enjoy

Hmm, it works if you don't have much email. Once you a few years of email, something is bound to screw up and then some/lots of messages will be missing. So, YMMV...

I had hundreds of emails spanning several years and It worked just fine for me. Got all the attachments too.
