For those of you looking for more features in ABFiller, be aware that I am no longer supporting it.
Instead, I have decided to spend my time getting libpst patched up so that it runs flawlessly under OSX. Right now, I have it working well on my end, and just have one snag left to make it function perfectly for the mac users.
Right now, it just tosses out mbox-format files that *should* be easy to import using Mail.app, but for some reason Mail.app doesn’t want to accept them. The fix, I’ve found, was to convert these mbox files to a “Mail.app-friendly” format and just shove them into your ~/Library/Mail/Folders/ directory to get them to show up.
Why does this not work as it’s “supposed to”? I have no clue right now. In the meantime, I think I’ll try to work out a way to create those “Mail.app-friendly” mailboxes right from readpst, rather than forcing you to run a script seperately from readpst.
It was nice to have the thousands of e-mails I used to keep for so long on my mac finally. So much junk in there that I have to clean out, too. :P

I have worked with libpst quite a bit on OS X. It works great. I find the secret is to add the .mbox extension to the resulting files and then I can drop them into Entourage or import them into mail. An easy way I found was to use a file re-namer. I have used name mangler and with it created a droplet where I can drop the files onto it and it renames all of them then I can do what I want with them. Is libpst your project? Or are you working on the source to come up with a Mac OS X friendly version on your own?

John: I haven’t touched libpst in years. At the time I played with it, I just hacked on the source until it compiled and worked properly on OS X, and didn’t do much past that point.
Surely, by now the source compiles and works properly on OS X without much intervention required…
