> Hi all, > > I was once upon a time a windows user. But things began to change for the good and now I m a kernel recompiler :-)......but my transition from windows to Linux was not complete. Sadly but forcefully I still have to boot into xp many times a day for the simple reason that it has outlook and that outlook has all my mails for the past 5 yrs (wud probably put that into about 75Mb)....in this case many of u might recommend me evolution...and this is where the problem starts. > > the fact is nearly all of my mails in outlook + the address book contacts are really important to me and I never did really want to loose them (in case a format had to occur).so what I did in windows was that I made some registry key changes so that outlook had its folders and address book in another drive (d:\ in my case).ergo ny problems occurred, formatting my c:\ didn't make ny problems coz all my mails were another drive. > > now I cant take the risk of putting all my mails into my root ext3 partition just to use evolution coz in case I have to change my distro all my mails would have to go.....when it came to importing mails kmailcvt was successful to an extend .it was able to import all my outlook 6 mails to a kmail folder and from there I could make evolution import all the mail folders to its folder-the path of which I didn't know but I knew it was in the ext3 root partition. > > now my question is can I make evolution import all my mails from outlook 6 to some folder outside the ext3 partition (say for e.g. a FAT32 partition e:\) and then make evolution point to that folder location always so that in case I have to format my root ext3 partition I will not loose my mails and next time I install evolution I can make it point to this location and then retrieve my earlier mails (this applies to my outlook to evolution address book transition too). > > Plz help me on this matter. > > Regards, > > Cherian > > > > > Cherian Thomas > msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (10:00 pm to 8:am IST) > icq : 133382787 > yahoo: cherian_in > > > > Defeat is a temporary condition.Giving up is what makes it permanent. > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
