Hi Is there a software available or some other way to get Outlook E-mails to Linux (kmail or netscape)? Jaska.
Jaska,
This is probably not an approved method, but when I get an e-mail that I'd
rather have in the other operating system I forward it to myself and
download it with the other os.

I copied all mail from Outlook to Outlook Express and used the KMail Import utility. It works great and puts all the OE mail into OE folders within KMail. The only thing to look out for is the obscure place that 'doze places the .dbx files into, however a search with Windoze Explorer sorts that out. Once the emails are transferred its easy to move them around whatever folders you choose, and filter rules work as well. Mark A -- Mark R Annandale SuSE Linux 7.2 Pro KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1

I am glad that worked. A while ago I helped a friend "upgrade" from Win95 to Win98. Outlook Express on Win98 did not like my friends address book, it decided it was corrupted. Out of curiosity I did an experiment on a spare computer..repeating the same exercise, with the same result... One thing of note is that if OE decides the address book is corrupt you cannot do *anything* until you get rid of it or create it anew from scratch. I don't go in much for Windows bashing, here it is mostly preaching to the converted anyway. But even this amazed me. -- Regards Cliff
