A page about Outlook on this wiki? Sounds weird isn't it?
Well, blame my employer.

We migrated from Lotus Notes, with crappy hacked outdated client so Outlook is still better but...
At least under Lotus Notes it was possible to add an IMAP account (BTW Lotus Notes crashed quite often when talking IMAP...)
Here: Tools->Account Settings->This feature has been disabled by your system administrator

Injecting IMAP settings

Outlook Express client was also present on the Windows machine so I launched it

  • In Outlook Express:
    • Wizard -> typed my IMAP&SMTP settings
  • In Outlook:
    • File -> Import and Export... -> Import Internet Mail Account Settings -> Microsoft Outlook Express or Microsoft Windows Mail -> Wizard allowing to edit the imported settings :-)
    • Then write a new mail -> Account (below Send button) -> select your new account -> Prompted to choose the sent folder, ok -> you've a multiple tabs config view of your new account, possibility to switch servers to TLS, changing name of the account, saying you need auth to talk to your SMTP etc etc

PST to Maildir

  • In Outlook:
    • New -> Outlook Data File... -> Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders file
    • Copy/Move mails to it
    • Right-Click on it -> Close it (probably safer)
  • In Linux:
    • Convert to mbox using readpst, then to Maildir using mb2md
mkdir pst
readpst -r -o pst backup.pst
find pst -name mbox -size 0 -exec rm {} \;
find pst -mindepth 2 -type d -print0|xargs --null -I XXX mb2md -s "$(pwd)/XXX/mbox" -
find pst -mindepth 2 -name mbox -print0|xargs --null rm

Openchange

I tried the one from Debian Experimental (version 1.0~svn679-1)

mapiprofile --address=A.B.C.D --username=name --password=passwd --domain=DOM --workstation=BLABLA --profile=test --create

-> segfault from libmapi0

I tried to compile the libmapi0 from the SVN, no segfault anymore but still failed
