True, for anything but IMAP. IMAP in Outlook2003 is still forced to be 
non-unicode in old-style PST's. (Which indeed does screw up when receiving 
mails in Russian unicode charset.. rather badly.)
Starting from Outlook2007 you can use unicode PST's for IMAP connections.

I'm seriously considering doing some evaluation of the Bynari Insight 
connector, which could make my life somewhat easier. Problem is that 
Dovecot is not officially supported, and it has some notes about email 
virus scanners having to be disabled for it to work properly.
(And of course the licensing / activation issue which makes it less 
practical for setups that have intermittent internet connections.)
Is there anyone here who has experience with this?

[yes, I think I'll start a fresh thread about that..]
