Hi, The modules Mail::Box::Dbx and Mail::Outlook look like a good place to start. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

Thanks to marto and socketdave. Exercising patience (and with some flashy ideas!!!) I have been able to use this Mail::Outlook module from CPAN with some success. Yes I am able to read the mails and its contents but there is a glitch. I can read only one mail (while the script is executed) but I want to read all the mails in a given folder sequentially one-by-one and extract the contents. I looked for documentation of this module (in CPAN site) but there is no write-up on this. Could someone pls. help me on this ? -- Mars	[reply]

Hi, Do you have a loop of any kind to work thru messages in the folder? Can you post your code so we can see what you have already and where your problem is? Martin	[reply]

A search for "outlook pst" on http://search.cpan.org would be a good place to start.	[reply]
