Save yourself a lot of future trouble and use another mail product. A
very large proportion of the email virus stuff depends on Outlook or OE
to propagate. Use another program and avoid receiving viruses and
sending them on to your friends. Netscape mail is quite lovely, free and
you can use it for mail and IE for browser if you have a 'thing' for IE.
I also use the Netscape browser mostly. One of the nicest little things
about Netscape mail is the ability to set HTML criteria for individual
addresses. I have this list set to plain text only so no matter what I
put in the message, I never send HTML to the list; don't even have to
think about it. There are also other free mail packages out there that
others on the list have touted.
I've never used Outlook or OE, thus proving a certain minimal level of
smarts, so I don't know anything about pst files, but Netscape help says
this:
"You can import address books from Communicator, Netscape 6, Eudora,
Outlook, Outlook Express, or text files (LDIF, tab-delimited (.tab),
comma-separated (.csv), or text (.txt) formats). When you import an
address book, Mail & Newsgroups creates a new address book with the
imported entries.
You can also import mail messages and settings from Communicator,
Eudora, Outlook, and Outlook Express."

I have just upgraded to Windows XP. It comes with Outlook Express. Nice, I
can handle my email from there and not worry about it all. Now, I have a
pst file with my old mailbox, contacts, etc., in it.
