Need a utility to import mail to Outlook via print dialog... or some other way to import proprietary messages into Outlook.
Hello,
We need to migrate 100s of proprietary PSTs from a little-known mail system to Outlook/Exchange but the file format of the PSTs is binary, proprietary and undocumented. One option is to leave the PSTs and let the users consult them in offline mode forever. The problem there is that they wouldn't be able to reply to or forward the messages, only read or print them. Not very user-friendly, they have GBs of mail in them. Has anyone seen an application which lets you print a message into an Outlook mail message, much like you print to a PDF file? Any other suggestions for workarounds for importing unknown formats into Outlook? Otherwise, any tips about how to reverse-engineer the PSTs? I'm not having much luck with a hex editor. Thanks in advance. Feeling desperate! - Alan.

So, what is this 'little-known mail system'?

Team Ware Mail and its off line (same idea as PST) mailboxes.
The silence now should be deafening.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
The offline mailbox format is proprietary, unpublished and devoid of an export tool to *any* other format; that's why I'm looking for another solution here. Some outside the box thinking needed, please.

If Teamware offers no assistance in working with their product, I see no
incentive to consider their product for any solutions in the future. Thanks for showing that. As an Exchange guy and given that Teamware supports IMAP, I would probably install Teamware and get that content back 'online' use the Exchange Migration Wizard in a lab. The Migration Wizard moves content from IMAP4 compliant systems to an Exchange mailbox, which of course can be exported to a .pst with Outlook or ExMerge. Sorry, that's all I can come up with.

I recall seeing mention of export tools when visiting the site I mentioned, but I think Mr. Lefkovics is a good one and perhaps less hassle. -- Brian Tillman
