A couple of more questions if anyone has the time.
2. I want to import my Oulook express folders to Thinderbird. I know it
can be done on windows, but when I try the impirt feature (running
Thunderbord on FreeBSD), there is no option to do this. Is there a way?
Aside from doing the import on Windows? Unix versions of T'bird have no
knowledge of Microsoft's PST files, but I suppose you could upload your
Outlook email to an IMAP server and then download those messages normally
from there.

Outlook != Outlook Express. OE, last I looked, stores its mail in a
.mbx file, which isn't compatible with .pst files.

Beyond that, I can't say.

Hi Guys,

Looking at the folders on Outlook Express, they are in *.dbx format.

Does this help?
