1) I don't know whether there is a mail client foe both Windows and Linux that uses the same format to store e-mail. In Windows, I use Netscape Messenger but from what I learned from this list, the Linux version is more than unstable. Does anybody know about a mailing client which is able to do this?
I believe pine stores mail in standard RFC822 format, and pine is very stable. I don't know about mutt (the storage format, not the stability ;-> ). Find a Windows mail program that sticks to standard formats, unfortunately I can't name any, since I haven't used Windows for a good long while.
Yes, Eudora Pro v3 uses standard mbox format for sure. If you copy your eudora *.mbx files to ~/Mail and run pine all your eudora mailboxes will be available (you can then of course rename them to lose the .mbx extension). I actually believe that Netscape does the same thing and stores mail in mbox format files so what I would suggest, as a first try, is make a symbolic link so that your netscape mail directory (presumably on a FAT or NTFS partition) becomes ~/Mail and then run pine. If it works well and you can read your mail then I would put your netscape mail folders on a FAT partition (as Linux Read/Write access is only experimental on NTFS folders) and share the folder. You may want to set up separate symbolic links for each folder in a genuine ~/Mail so that the names in pine look nicer. Good luck.
