Here is what I did, your results may vary. This was on my personal machine, which was using Outlook 2002. I first installed Mozilla, and then used Moz to convert the Outlook mail. Then I used TB! to import the Mozilla Mail as 'Unix Mailboxes.' I had previously tried TB!'s Outlook import but it ended up freezing up and forcing me to force complete it. It also mucked up my address book with bad birthdays. The nice thing about the Import Unix Mailboxes is that the mail went right into the highlighted folders, and it all seemed much smoother. I suspect that in order to access Outlook, you need to go through weird API's and automation code, which is why the Unix Mailboxes is more straightforward. Mozilla seemed to do a fairly good job on the conversion. I do have some troubles with dates on some messages which are showing far into the future, but in all I'm happy with the results. Good luck! - -- Best regards, Robin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBPN1OURbAIbkOlqTtEQIVmgCfU0VGNEj5kSBLlK3LdyPsdOnGh9AAoPAM z1i8l/343GZMUkJIhfrtypIh =6Cu1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60i FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
