Then we need an installed version of Outlook 200X to access these *.pst files. When we have an Outllook 200X running with all data accessable, we need the migration tools. If you have no Outlook200X installed please install the Outlook version, you need to a import your *.pst files. If you have an Outlook200X installed with no contact/calendar data available, and you have some *.pst files please continue with: 2) How to import pst files in Outlook. If you have a running Outlook200X already with contact/calendar data available, please continue with: 3) Where to get the migration tools. **************************************** 2) How to import pst files in Outlook **************************************** To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu: File - Open - Outlook Data File ... Now the data included in this file is shown as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view. This root folder is probably not accessable from the migration tools via OLE. To access data stored in one of the subfolders, copy this subfolder to a root folder, which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE. (To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until you get the Oulook import dialog!) To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose Copy "<subfoldername>"... in the popup menu. **************************************** 3) Where to get the migration tools **************************************** The data migration is is performed with the Windows versions of KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi. Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and Sharp-Zaurus PDA. Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use KOrganizer/Pi together with, or embedded in, the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi. The programs you need for the migration are: a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 2dlls + icons b) KOrganizer/Pi executeable + icons c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll You can download all of them at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ Download of a) and b) Please choose there package/project with name KDE/Pim (Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 ) Choose there the topmost latest version and the files kapixxx-exe.zip kopixxx-exe.zip The latest version is currently ( 2004-09-15 ) 1.9.5b.
