[imp] Importing Contacts from Outlook 2000 to Imp

Fellow IMP'ers:

I've tried on two different installations of Imp and several different
installations of Outlook 2000 to use the IMP functionality to import address
books from a .PST file. I've tried both importing directly from Outlook's
main file (outlook.pst) and from a separately exported contacts file. Both
failed, either by simply returning a "page can't be displayed" error or by
providing a list of fields to match with only garbage in the outlooks side
of the field match.

Has anybody been able to make this work? Any secrets? I have several users
with large address books that don't want to re-type them to use IMP.

Thanks!
Mark
