I never figured it out. I blame dbus and hal ports, but couldn't investigate this fully as after the 23-24 Jan port upgrages my X failed alltogether. on a similar problem with new gdm and dbus errors, i deleted/moved (backuped) all folders that have to do with .gconf or .gtk from my home directory. something worked for me, but i have no idea which. give it a try and see how it goes? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Then firefox3 freezes forever, showing something like the background or pixel remnants of windows/picograms moving over its window. This should be unrelated to Xorg 7.4, as it happens to my 7.1 box, running Xorg 7.3 and the latest firefox3. Please try backing down firefox3 or some other related libraries that were updated in the last month (when this started to show up) Cheers, Ulrich Spörlein hey, sorry to barge in, but have you ppl by any chance seen a related post about this? i saw this (am still getting it) after 7.4 upgrade, but when someone else reported it, the person who i think committed xorg updates i believe said this warning is harmless and only showing because some new functionality in the lib is not yet being used, something to that effect? i think he explained that he just overlooked disabling the warning. are you aware of this or are you having stability problems still? my system spits this warning, but just noise, and all working ok otherwise. if you are aware of the post, but still having problems, then disregard this, and sorry if i missed something ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Is there a way? The /usr/ports/mail/libpst port contains a tool called readpst which can convert them to e.g. mailbox (mbox) format. Thunderbird should be able to import mbox files. Never used Outlook Express, but its file format, IIRC, is different than that used by Outlook (.pst). shoulf be easy to import outlook express into outlook Either way, the best option would be to install Thunderbird on the Windows machine and use Thunderbird there to import the OE mail.
