Could you please give me some additional information on what readpst and 
mbox format are and where I can get those?

So I somehow transfer the mbox-formatted-files to the local folders of 
Thunderbird? What about the other data from the .pst, such as calendar, 
contacts and tasks?

And how do I continue after having imported everything to Thunderbird - 
how do I then push the data to my Kolab server, the place where I want 
to have the data at the end?

Thank you for any hint!!
