I ran across http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/mbox2eml.php. This converts the mbox file to eml (individual Outlook Express messages), so there's an extra step to get to Outlook. I tried it on an mbox saved from Evolution on a Debian box and it worked. If you don't have access to a Windows box, I'd be happy to convert some files for you. Another option is to read it into Eudora, which produces Eudora's special indexed mbox files. Outlook can import these directly for version 3 and earlier of Eudora (at least for Outlook2K). Yet another thing you could do is to make the mbox available through an IMAP server and have your correspondent read the messages using Outlook. Finally, since you mentioned gmail, I ran into a gmail uploader written in Python that understands mbox files. http://www.marklyon.org/gmail/default.htm -- Seth Goodman _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
