See the other two posts on possible alternate clients... Personally I use Sylhpeed-Claws... very nice little client. As for getting your mail into Unix clients, there are two main folder types used... MH (which is an individual file for each mail), or Berkley mbox (which is just one single flat file with all messages in). As TB! seems to store the files as plain text, you *may* (don't 100% quote me on this one) be able to just copy the messages.tbb to the linux machine, and rename to something like inbox. If you put it in a directory like "mail" and try opening pine, it should in theory be able to handle it. There is always the Export to Unix Mailbox. There is always the option of Pine. Sounds funny, but I used it for quite a while, and when I used it in conjunction with roles, it could do quite a lot of the stuff TB! could do. Like for example, *almost* AB templates. If you setup a role to activate when sending to a certain address (say TBUDL), you could get it to set from fields, signatures, importance etc. Hope some of these ideas help. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60k 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
