This isn't an outlook-bashing question, I just don't wany to pay £xx for ms office when I only need an email client. It has to be a desktop client rather than internet, using a pop3 account. I've tried:
- Zimbra, but that keeps throwing up an SSL conflict error
- Evolution, still fiddling and seems to have problems importing pst file
- Thunderbird, but that won't recognise Outlook 2003 .pst (and I don't have the original Outlook to create an older 97-2002 pst file)
Any other recommendations?
get a trial version of outlook 2007 to convert the file to 2002 and then read it into thunderbird.

Lotus Notes is whats a work, seems ok.
Hi,
Problem with WLM is I can't import a .pst file.
Problem with the trial version is it won't let me export the pst file as a 97-02 file due to reduced functionality mode.
Is Notes free??
I can't say if this is correct, but I found this:
The thing I did was install a trial version of Office 2007 which had Outlook 2007 in the package.(Import the old pst file(s) in Outlook 2007 trial) - optional
After that the appropriate MAPI driver is installed on your system and you are able to open the old pst files in Windows Mail.
and you can download a trial of Office 2010 [url= http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/default.aspx ]here[/url]
I switched from Outlook to Mozilla Thunderbird and so far works great. Not as elaborate, but it does the job.
