    Linux utilities

There are several open source utilities to convert .pst files to mbox 
files such as readpst <http://kontact.kde.org/kmail/tools.php> , libpst 
<http://alioth.debian.org/projects/libpst/Libpst> and Outport 
<http://outport.sourceforge.net/> . Thunderbird uses a separate mbox 
file for each folder to store all of the messages for that folder. None 
of those utilities seem to be under active development and they only 
support some of the versions of .pst files. You can use the 
ImportExporttools 
<http://nic-nac-project.de/%7Ekaosmos/mboximport-en.html> extension to 
import the mbox files.
