Here's a suggestion I once happened across. I don't remember where I saw it (somewhere on the web), but the concept is pretty straight forward (provided you have access to both a Windows box and an IMAP account):
- Set up an IMAP account in Outlook. - Copy all your email from the local folders to the folders on the IMAP server. - Set up an IMAP account in your MUA of choice under Linux. - Copy all your email from the IMAP folders to your local Linux folders. - Wave a happy buh-bye to Outlook. :-) Ian > -----Original Message----- > From: Johnny Stork [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 12:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: (clug-talk) Mailbox Conversions > > > I am trying to convert a couple of mailbox formats to mbox.
