If you're using a proprietary mailer, you should not be using a proprietary mailer. > around 1.5 GB of stored messages going back five years. One way I used to > do earlier was to copy the .dbx files, but that doesn't work always. With Lookout you typically need to find and copy outlook.pst (only if it's under 2 GBytes, don't bother since it self-destroys, then). Then you can copy over outlook.pst on the new machine, and you might or might not get your mail back. Doesn't Thunderbird support importing Outlook (dunno bout Express) mail profiles, and messages included? (But only if Outlook is running, IIRC). > Any ideas? I'd like to test the porting before I leave, just to make sure. I can only give meta-advice to not getting hooked on proprietary systems again. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
