Export to XML???

A

Andreas Zita

Hi, Im running Outlook 2003 and I was wondering if anyone know if there is
any way to turn a pst-file into XML?

I have tried exporting to *.mdb first and then to XML from MS Access.
However when exporting to *.mdb from Outlook one of the most important
fields is missing: the datetime when the mail was sent/received!

Does MS have any nifty app to do the conversion PST->XML with all the
imporant fields or is there any third-party (free?) app who can do this?

What would the purpose of that be? Your PST contains all your Outlook data.
Certainly there is plenty of information in Outlook that is not suitable for
use in an XML file.

MS doesn't have a conversion tool, but sourceforge has something....
