OK, no problems.

Now, back to your issue: you may not have done anything wrong, it may be as simple as you are not on the required Ubuntu version...

Are you running Ubuntu Karmic? If you are not, it will not work. The necessary requirements are:

- Ubuntu Karmic (a.k.a. Ubuntu 9.10, currently on Beta going to RC)
 - LIBPST 0.6.41
 - Evolution 2.28.* (all evolution and evolution-data-server packages, except the -dev ones)
   (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingEvolution, headers (1) and (2) for a list)

You can check your Evolution version level by clicking on Help/About.

Both Evo 2.28.* and Libpst 0.6.41 are *only* available for Karmic, and will not be backported to Jaunty or earlier. The code changes are significant, and I personaly do not think there is enough cause for a backport.

On the other hand, if you are running Jaunty, you can convert PST files by running 'readpst' from a terminal. You will have to install the 'libpst' and the 'readpst' packages to do that.

On the, er, other other hand, you *may* be able to use 'readpst' from a previous-to-Jaunty Ubuntu release, but these versions of 'readpst' do are unable to deal with PST files from Outlook 2003 onwards.

Cheers
