|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>I've also heard that Mozilla Mail under Windows can convert Outlook
|
|
mailboxes -- but the only solid report I've gotten was that
|
|
attachments were not converted, so if they matter to you, don't use
|
|
this method.
|
|
<P>There is some documentation on the Ximian Evolution website. I haven't
|
|
tried this since I don't have a Windows machine anymore. But, here's
|
|
what they say to do:
|
|
<P>Run Mozilla Mail
|
|
<P>Go to "File > Import" and select that you wish to import
|
|
mail from Outlook. When that's done, you're almost there.
|
|
<P>I believe that Mozilla stores all its mailboxes as Unix mbox format
|
|
files, even under Windows. So, all you have to do is transfer those
|
|
files to your Linux box. You can find them in:
|
|
<P>C:/windows/Application Data/Mozilla/Profiles/default/XXX/Mail/imported.mail/, where XXX will
|
|
be some collection of digits. If there are multiple users on your
|
|
Windows machine, "default" will instead be your username.
|
|
<P>As I mentioned earlier, I've never tried this method, so I don't know
|
|
how well it works. In particular, the issues raised in section 3.4
|
|
probably also apply to this method of conversion.
|
|
<P>By the way, the reason that Mozilla can only read Outlook mailboxes
|
|
under Windows is because it calls a Microsoft DLL to do it.
