How to Convert PST to Maildir Format?

If you need to convert PST to Maildir, the easiest approach is to use a dedicated PST conversion tool. PST and Maildir use different email storage structures, so simply changing the file extension will not work.

A tool such as Advik PST Converter can help extract emails from a PST file and save them in Maildir-compatible format. The process is generally:

  1. Install and open the PST converter.
  2. Add your Outlook PST file.
  3. Select the required email folders.
  4. Choose Maildir as the export format.
  5. Select a destination folder and start the conversion.

This approach can also preserve important email details such as attachments, sender/recipient information, dates, and folder structure, depending on the export options available.

For a large PST file, using a converter is usually much easier than trying to convert each email manually.
