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_pst_to_mbox_converter/ 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).
- siva7 4y agoSo a GPT bot instead of the human commenters would make reddit more useful in the end, this is what you're saying right?
- ChrisKnott 4y agoHow so? The commercial organisations will be able to use a GPT bot to provide more believable comments, at greater scale, and cheaper.
- deafpolygon 4y agoI'm blind maybe, but what are the blatantly bullshit comments? The spam of PST to MBOX?
- VerminOctopus1 4y agoYeah they are almost all clearly spammy, broken english ads for paid software
- vageli 4y agoYes and if you look at the comment history of the posters in that thread, it is clear they are all spam accounts.
