Hello, you probably (== I didn't try it myself) can do it, as the formats are indeed the same and, even better, you shouldn't have any problems with the different line ending conventions as Mahogany is smart enough to read the files in any text format. The format of the mail folders and the address books is the same for all platforms. However the program options are currently stored in the registry under Windows so that you can't share them with the Linux version (which keeps them in a file). I hope to implement the options synchronization for 0.65 and at the very least it will have a way to use a config file even for the Windows version. SB> I use multiple POP3 accounts which I am sure is easy for Mahogany SB> to handle. Yes, but you should either use a version > 0.64 (i.e. a snapshot) or manually set keep alive time for all your POP folders to 0 as otherwise accessing them was buggy in 0.64. SB> It also looks like I can import my old Outlook Express folders SB> and the address book into Mahogany. Can you verify this? No, I can't and you cannot, sorry. The format of the Outlook address book is unknown and I have no idea how to parse it. As for the folders, there is a tool (look at Freshmeat) to convert them to MBOX which can be used from Mahogany but it is not integrated into Mahogany itself [yet].
