Kontact and Outlook .PST

Does anyone know if Kontact (that is, kMail) will import messages from a Microsoft .PST file? Or do I need to save the messages already in the .PST to text, and then import the text messages?
In retrospect, everything is funny.

Easiest way:

on windows, import the outlook files into outlook express
then reboot to linux, and import the outlook express files into kmail

I don't have an export filter in Outlook (it's my work computer). But I did find a couple of tools, one for Windows and one for Linux that will convert a PST file to mbox format. I'm gonna try that route. Thanks for the reply!

I ended up trying it, but OE won't let me choose between an Exchange mailbox and a .PST file. I set it to import and it started pulling everything from my mailbox. I'm gonna have to find a different solution.
