Hello mick,
Welcome to Ultimate Edition!

Now, as to your question... I just tried this, and it worked for me - MSOffice 2003 on XP to Evolution on Ultimate Edition 2.5X64:
1: Open the Places menu at the top of your screen.
2: Click on Network, and navigate to the appropriate Windows WorkGroup, then to the following directory on your target Windows XP system:
C:\Documents and Settings\THE-CORRECT-USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ and find the file outlook.pst
3: Copy the file and save it to the Desktop on your Ultimate Edition system.
4: Open Evolution, click on File>Import to start the Import Assistant, click on Forward and select Import a single file and then browse to your desktop, and select the Outlook.pst fle, and click on Forward.
5: Select a destination or accept the default of Personal and select the itms you want to import, such as Mail, Address Books, Appointments, Tasks or Journal Entries - I believe the Outlook Calendar items will be imported when Appointments and Tasks are selecred.

I did this from my Ultimate Edition 2.5X64 installation, and accessed the XP computer via my LAN - you may have to make "Documents and Settings" a Shared folder in order to access the Outlook.PST file via your LAN or you could just copy that file to a USB Memory Stick/Drive and transfer to your Ultimate Edition system that way. One other thing, the Windows folder \Documents and Settings\THE-CORRECT-USERNAME\Local Settings\ is normally a "Hidden Folder" so you may have to goto Tools>Folder Options and select "Show Hidden Files and Folders" (or something like that).

Let us know if this helps resolve your problem and answers your question satisfactorily... We are to help in any way we are able.
BTW: I do not know how your post got overlooked for several days, and do apologize for the delay.
