PST file conversion desperation

[Guest]

I recently lost an XP notebook to an inexplicable collapse and opted to go
for Mac as my replacement. I have no other computer. I purchased an expensive
Mac copy of Office...comes with Entourage, not Outlook. I was able to salvage
my pst file but no longer have access to Outlook in any form. How can I get
this data? I have heard converting it to mbox is required. How would I do
that. It's Microsoft to Microsoft - any clues...this is maddening....!

Considering that Mac OS X is based on a Unix operating system, I would say
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ol2mbox is helpful.

Thankyou, I'll try it - but can I run that app from the Mac or would I need
to still have a pc?

as far as i know, you just need the libpst package, the mac os, and a way to
compile the code. (i've been searching for a precompiled version. found
one for windows, still looking for your platform.)
