Hi Joon, Actually, this was exactly what happened to me a while back. Prior to using KDE as my desktop, I was using Win2K/Microsoft Outlook. When I transferred to Linux/KDE/Ximian Evolution, I had this same problem. This was how I did it: 1. From my Windows box, I installed Netscape Mail. After the installation, I imported everything from MS Outlook [in your case, that would just be plain Outlook]. 2. I looked for the files it generated and copied them to my new Linux box, fired up KDE and Ximian Evolution [an Outlook-like mailer]. 3. Imported the mbox-styled file I copied from the Windows box. That's it!!! Now, I am using Linux/KDE/Ximian Evolution/OpenOffice/etc/etc/etc 100%!!! hth, -- -------------------------------------- Chris G Haravata <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ITRG Officer - Magallanes Asia Pacific College #3 Humabon Place, Magallanes Village 1232 Makati City Philippines Trunkline: (632)8529232 loc 402 Directline: (632)7571950 Cellno: (63916)3500465 http://wwww.apc.edu.ph ph _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
