Thanks Ian, I also thought of that one but unfortunately the new MUA I am using does not support IMAP yet, so I need to find some other route for now.

I don't remember where I saw it <br>(somewhere on the web), but the concept is pretty straight forward (provided <br>you have access to both a Windows box and an IMAP account): <br> <br>- Set up an IMAP account in Outlook. <br>- Copy all your email from the local folders to the folders on the IMAP <br>server. <br>- Set up an IMAP account in your MUA of choice under Linux. <br>- Copy all your email from the IMAP folders to your local Linux folders. <br>- Wave a happy buh-bye to Outlook. :-) <br> <br>Ian <br> <br> <br>> -----Original Message----- <br>> From: Johnny Stork [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] <br>> Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 12:57 PM <br>> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <br>> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] <br>> Subject: (clug-talk) Mailbox Conversions <br>> <br>> <br>> I am trying to convert a couple of mailbox formats to mbox. One <br>> is an Outlook *.pst file and the other is a mail box from the <br>> Mailsutio @message 5.1, web based mail client. I "beleive" it is <br>> in MH format according to this definition: <br>> <br>> MH. A radical departure from mbox and MMDF, a mailbox consists of <br>> a directory and each message is stored in a separate file. The <br>> filename indicates the message number (however, this is may not <br>> correspond to the message number Mutt displays). Deleted messages <br>> are renamed with a comma (,) prepended to the filename. Note: <br>> Mutt detects this type of mailbox by looking for either <br>> .mh_sequences or .xmhcache (needed to distinguish normal <br>> directories from MH mailboxes). <br>> <br>> I have also tried the Outlook2Unix tool but it didnt seem to work for me. <br>> <br>> Suggestions???? <br>> <br>> <br>> ________________________________ <br>> <b><font color=blue size=4>Open Enterprise Solutions</font></b> <br>> <b><font color=red>Linux & Open Solutions for Business</font></b> <br>> <br>> Johnny Stork, BA <br>> Calgary, AB <br>> Canada <br>> <br>> <a href="http://www.openenterprise.ca"target="top";>http://www.openenterprise.ca</a> <br>> <br>> --------------------------------------------------- <br>> The Webtop Personal Web-based Email System <br>> <a href="http://www.yourwebtop.com"target="top";>http://www.yourwebtop.com</a> <br>> <br>> <br> <br> <br> --------------------------------------------------- The Webtop Personal Web-based Email System http://www.yourwebtop.com
