I retired at the beginning of the year, and before leaving I saved all my personal email from my work account to a PST file. I had confirmed in advance that Microsoft has a free utility for converting PSTs to Gmail. What I didn’t realize until I was gone is that the utility requires you to have outlook installed, and I don’t have it at home.

I read that Thunderbird can import PSTs to MBOX with an add-on, but it doesn’t seem to. There are a mess of conversation utilities, but they’re all restricted to a small number of emails for the free versions.

I’ll probably just give in and buy one, even though I only need it one time for one (huge) file, but I thought I’d ask if anyone had done it and has a better option.

      The free trials all limit use to like 25 emails and I have orders or magnitude more than that.

      Edit: oh, you probably mean the free trial of Outlook? Is there such a thing? If so, that might be viable. As I recall, the MS tool only works with a locally installed version of Outlook, not 365. I’ll have to look into that.
