de-lurking...
I did this recently, so I'll add my limited insight.
I believe all the full versions of Outlook (including 2K) have an
option to export mail, including going to standard Unix mail.
Outlook Express lacks this functionality, so different approaches are
necessary.
Of the other e-mail packages avaialable Eudora seems to do the best
job of converting from pst. I believe it's the only one that even
has the option. Actually, from the earlier message I guess Netscape
will attempt it as well.
Another option is to do a "select all" and drag and drop all your
messages to a folder outside of Outlook (all versions, including OE).
This will give a folder full of plain text .eml files that should be
easy enough to import into darn near anything. Someone who's handy
with perl (or any other scripting language) shouldn't have too much
trouble converting all those text files into standard mailbox format.
I'm not sure what this method will do to attachments. I'd try to
take care of those indivdually if you can, no matter what method you
use.
Back to my regularly scheduled lurking...
