   The proper way would be with Windows Scripting, using VBA (Visual 
Basic for Applications), and for access to the PMMail address books and 
folders the File System Object. 

   It would be interesting, but I do myself not really want to help 
migration away from PMMail... and if, then rather to The Bat! 
(http://www.ritlabs.com) than to Microsoft. 

   Well, what I might be interested in, is a bidirectional 
synchronization between MS Outlook and PMMail or my own database 
application. 

   I thought about writing directly to a PST-File (Personal Folders 
file), but I understand that the file format is kept secret by 
Microsoft. 

   Besides, "exporting" from PMMail is not really possible, since the 
emails are stored as raw messages in the same form, as they are handed 
over by the email servers, each and every message as a file by itself. 

   The address book can be exported into a simple CSV file (or other 
formats, using my little utility on OS/2), and the format of the 
FOLDER.BAG, i.e. the folder index file is also not so difficult. 

Yours,
