I know this is a late post for this but - this was something i had been wanting to do for a while - have access to the same mail data (i have dual boot between winxp {other half mostly uses xp} & mandrake9.2) but had never rtfm�d. what i need also is something like hotpopper that i use on my xp partition to d/l hotmail account mail. is there a package around that does this?
& he was right...really easy - if only soundcards & modems were like that

It's very easy to set up mozilla to do this - one of the things I've managed successfully on this learning curve ;-)
It's simply a matter of moving the email folders to a fat32 partition first. On a windows machines, that's from something like c:\program files\mozilla.org\mozilla\default\<username>\mail which contains various folders including pop.<yourisp> and smtp.<yourisp> - copy the whole mozilla folder. then in mozilla, in the mail and newsgroup account settings, server settings, make the "local directory" entry point to the folder in the new location called pop.<yourisp>. Also do the similar thing for the "local folders" "local directory". Restart mozilla and you're away. Under linux the path is a little bit different of course because you'll have the fat32 partition mounted somewhere, so you just use those mounted paths.


So easy, I can do it.

Cheers,
Roger
