What is Pine Mail
Alpine Mail is a freeware text-based email client originally developed for the Unix platform in 1989. Fyr er ikke udviklet eller understøttet nu, softwaren er udgået i 2005.
Men, a surprisingly large number of users still ask how to migrate from Pine email client to Outlook. And the problem is real: Microsoft Outlook simply does not offer any ways to import Pine messages to Outlook. Partially because (let us be honest) it does not have to. And partially, because Pine is an email client developed for a competing platform.
If you are a Pine user too and you need to convert your Pine messages to Outlook, denne tutorial er til dig.
How to convert messages from Pine to Outlook
While there is no direct way to convert Pine to Outlook, there is a workaround. Først og fremmest, you convert your message folders to the MBOX format – and Pine does support this. Derefter, you import MBOX files to Outlook.
Importing MBOX files can be done with the third-party software developed exactly for difficult cases like this – MBOX to Outlook Transfer. This app quickly and 100% effortlessly transfers MBOX mailboxes to MS Outlook PST files. Here is a step-by-step to follow:
Trin 1: Save Pine folders to MBOX
There is a built-in possibility in Pine to save email folders as MBOX files. Follow these steps to do this:
- Open a folder in Pine you want to export.
- Tryk på';' på dit tastatur for at køre kommandoen 'vælg meddelelser', tryk derefter på 'en’ for at vælge alle beskeder.
- Tryk på'en’ for at anvende en kommando på de valgte beskeder, tryk derefter på 'e’ for eksportkommandoen.
- Angiv et navn til din MBOX-fil.
- Gentag om nødvendigt med andre mapper.
This will export your correspondence to the MBOX format. Make sure to remember where you saved your MBOX files, because we will need this location later.
Trin 2: Installer MBOX til Outlook Transfer
The trickiest part of the Pine-to-Outlook migration procedure is importing MBOX files. Manual conversion is not an option – Outlook does not read MBOX files altogether. That is why you need MBOX to Outlook Transfer. This tool can take any MBOX file, exported from a number of email clients including Pine or, for eksempel, Thunderbird, and saves the data in it to an Outlook PST file.
To download MBOX to Outlook Transfer, klik på knappen nedenfor. After download finishes (1-2 mig), install the program.

Trin 3: Gennemse mappen med MBOX-filer
To start your conversion, klik på ... button to browse for the folder where you saved the MBOX files. If you move from another computer, select the removable media where you copied your MBOX files instead.
Klik på Folder Scan knappen. MBOX til Outlook Transfer scanner den angivne sti og finder alle MBOX-filer i den. De fundne e-mail-containere vises straks i hovedvinduet.
Trin 4: Importer MBOX-data til Outlook
To import MBOX containers to Outlook, klik på Gemme PST knappen. Specify a location where you want to save the PST file. Derefter, you should also pick an Outlook folder to import the data from Pine mailboxes to.
Endelig, click OK to start conversion.
The processing of MBOX files can take some time depending on the number of files and their overall size. While MBOX to Outlook Transfer implements one of the most performing conversion engines, you still may need to wait a bit, especially if the Pine mailboxes contain gigabytes of data.
Når processen er færdig, programmet åbner automatisk den resulterende PST-fil i Outlook.
