Mbox is simple. Copy over the file /var/mail/$username. (or your equivalent). if u need to read it on a winblowze client then I think you need to make sure that the destination filename ends in a .eml. ie somefile.eml. (I think). In case of maildir, copy over the whole maildir. you'll need a unix mail client to read this. mutt should do fine. (or you copy @ file as a file.eml.. or you cat all files to myhugefile.eml with a newline inbetween or....) HTH Patrick. ps: I *think* eml is the extension windows associates with an lookout - sorry outlook e-mail; if not, some windows guru will have to correct. --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
