If you install the Debian package "imap", you get a working IMAP server that stores mail in mbox-format folders. Then you configure Outlook Express to know about the IMAP server, and drag all your mail folders over to it. Then, either you leave the messages in IMAP and use a Linux-based IMAP-aware mail client, or use an mbox-aware mail client directly on the IMAP-created folders, or you use formail and procmail to process the IMAP-created folders and store your mail wherever you really want it. If you don't want to keep using the IMAP server, you can remove the imap package after all your mail has been transferred over from Windows. Craig
