Re: how to export messages from outlook express

[kd4d@comcast.net]

Hi:

I know this one!  Download Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows.  It will
import your e-mail messages from Outlook.

It will also, incidentally, translate them into a usable format.  The
resulting files are in a well-hidden (and literally hidden) directory.
On my computer, in:

C:\Documents and Settings\mbailey\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\42o4an22.slt\Mail\Local Folders\Outlook Mail0.sbd

"Application Data" is a hidden directory.

If you transfer these files to your Linux box, Evolution will import them.

Apparently, Mozilla Thunderbird won't read the actual Outlook files. :-(
You have to load it onto the machine that is running Outlook.

Good luck!
