Importing OE6 mails into Evolution
by Richard Chang 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, In my quest to shift entirely to Linux, I am facing some problems in getting somethings done. For example, I still use my OE 6 under XP. I am still using it because I have 2 yrs old mails which I need to refer to quite often. I want to import the old mails from OE 6 into Evolution and it only allows OE 4 mails in mbx format to be imported. Can anyone help me in this regard. I need this last thing to be done. Apart from this everything else is looking positive and once I have the old mails under Evolution, it might be bye-bye to Windoze...completely. Thanks rc

While there are utilities that convert the OE mailbox into a standard mbox file, one simple but crude method is as follows: OE allows one to select all mails in a folder and drag them into a folder in windows explorer - this creates individual .eml files for each message with filenames based on the subject header. Most mail clients allow importing a whole directory of individual mails into a mail folder - thunderbird does I think & I suppose evolution does as well. Even if evolution doesn't directly support this, you could import into any mail client that does and then export mbox or whatever format evolution requires. Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

Install Woes
by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy) 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi, I'm back with some more A big thank you to Dinesh here. My wish to own an AMD machine has come true. (AMD Semp 2500+ with ASUS K8S-MX). Now 2 Linux distros have failed to install .. FC4 which came with this month's Chip DVD just keeps rebooting. I see the second line Reading initrd.... and kaboom Next it was Debian 3.1- Now here I get a weird error that failed to mount CDROM. I have used the same drive to install the same distro on another machine. It is booting from the CD but a modprobe command fails look like. In the end I was forced to put in Win2K and needless to say it installed fine (maybe I need more Linux installs under my belt) What's up with this ? Thanks, Gishu Pillai

[OT]A good Laptop
by Richard Chang 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, I would like to go for a Laptop and my budget is not going to permit me to go in for Centrino based ones. It is around 35k. I think sometime back, the list was discussing about Acer Laptop model 3002. I would like to know about the performance of these. I have seen the Acer site and it says that the battery gives a backup time of around 1 hr. and that I think is too low. That apart, Last week when I was in Bangalore, I saw a few AMD 64 based Laptops of SAHARA being displayed. Is there anyone who is using any laptops from SAHARA. I wonder how much is the price and how is their after-sales service. Thanks rc
