I am finally planning on converting my personal workstation to Linux from Win2k. I have made a document of all the things I need to be able to do at work and very few of them look like they're going to present any problems on Linux.
The one thing that does look a bit dodgy is email. What do you do when you have a lot of email stored in .dbx files (native Outlook Express format) and you don't want to lose them? Plus what do you do with your OE address book?
I'm assuming this problem has been encountered before. Anyone?

Do you have access to an IMAP email server? If so move all of your email to the IMAP server, install linux and then move your email back after the install. Or better yet leave your email on the IMAP server. Ken
