  1. Why not just run the Outlook client against Novell GroupWise using the provided "Novell GroupWise Connector for Microsoft Outlook" that ships in GroupWise 7 and below. Later in 2013 when the new Novell Mobility service ships with ActiveSync v14, you can use Outlook 2013 against a GroupWise 8 or 2012 messaging system. No PST exporting needed at all to use your contacts in Outlook.
