I just tried to find a FOSS tool for converting MS Outlook .pst file to .mbox.

I first tried Google; the results are dominating by commercial crap.

Then I tried the "google reddit" trick to try and find some real people's opinions... but look at all the blatantly bullshit comments on this Reddit thread; https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/ae4cdg/good_ps...

(if anyone is wondering, the best option for Windows is to use 'readpst' command via WSL. Comes in the 'pst-utils' package).



So a GPT bot instead of the human commenters would make reddit more useful in the end, this is what you're saying right?


How so? The commercial organisations will be able to use a GPT bot to provide more believable comments, at greater scale, and cheaper.


I'm blind maybe, but what are the blatantly bullshit comments? The spam of PST to MBOX?


Yes and if you look at the comment history of the posters in that thread, it is clear they are all spam accounts.


Yeah they are almost all clearly spammy, broken english ads for paid software
