>Try EXPORTING from Outlook. A PST file will not work. I forgot what export formats there are, but that's what I did and it successfully imported into Thunderbird. YOu might have to Google how to import into Thunderbird. I think I had to add and 'add-on' to Thunderbird to do it.

First, thank you.

I think I will first try Thunderbird to see if I like the UI and the features, before I jump the Outlook ship completely. I am used to Outlook UI and all features; I just don't like (to put it mildly) of how MS supports the products and/or treats customers.
