Mozilla/Netscape can do this. They store email in mbox format. That just means that each folder that you define is actually a file. Email is appended to the end of the file in plain text. kmail uses this format, as well as others. Sylpheed doesn't use this format but it can import mbox files as well as export to them. Bill
