Subject: [Cialug] Maildir -> PST

Having extracted a large quantity of one user's email from the archives (14K message, 4.2 GB *compressed*), the next problem is how to 'show' them to management.

Given that Outlook would most like roll over and die if we tried to import that many messages (and probably leave that user's PST in an usable state), .. and the apparent lack of any way to create a PST from them, wonding if anyone had a suggestion?

One thought I had - apparently "EML" emails with Outlook are individual files - has anyone ever tried to convert Maildir files to .EMLs?
