2) How to import pst files in Outlook
****************************************
To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu:
File - Open - Outlook Data File ...
Now the data included in this file is shown
as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view.
This root folder is probably not accessable from
the migration tools via OLE.
To access data stored in one of the subfolders,
copy this subfolder to a root folder,
which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE.
(To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until
you get the Oulook import dialog!)
To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose
Copy "<subfoldername>"...
in the popup menu.
****************************************
3) Where to get the migration tools
****************************************
The data migration is is performed with the Windows versions of KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi.
Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and Sharp-Zaurus PDA.
Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use KOrganizer/Pi together with, or embedded in, the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi.
The programs you need for the migration are:
a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 2dlls + icons
b) KOrganizer/Pi executeable + icons
c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll
You can download all of them at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/
Download of a) and b)

4) How to install the migration tools
****************************************
You have downloaded the files
-kapi193a-exe.zip
-kopi193a-exe.zip
+kapi195b-exe.zip
+kopi195b-exe.zip
kdepimdll.zip
Unzip these files.
Now choose an arbitrary installation directory, where to copy all the needed files together.
You should have now the following files and the directory "kdepim" in the same directory:
kopi.exe
kapi.exe
microkabc_dir.dll
microkabc_file.dll
msvcr71.dll
mfc71u.dll
qt-mt331.dll
ReadMich.txt
kdepim (directory)
The directory "kdepim" should contain subdirectories
kaddressbook
korganizer
which itself contain some subdirectories with icons and help text.
Now the migration tools are ready for use.
NOTE AND HINT for performing migration on many workstations:
Just burn the content of the installation dir on a CD.
Then you can put the CD in every workstation and execute the migration tools from that CD directly.

5) How to get the contact data out of Outlook200X
*************************************************************
Note: When accessing Outlook to read the data, it should not be possible, that there is any data lost in Outlook, because the progam accesses Outlook only Read-Only.
You have the file
kapi.exe
and the other needed files accessable on your workstation.
Getting the contact data
Please start kapi.exe.
Choose menu:
File - Import - Import from Outlook...
You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook.
Choose the Contact Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook.
(All other folder but the contact containing folders are shown, but disabled).
(If the data you want to import is not stored in one of the shown folders,
please read step 2.) and click on "close" ).
