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

Sob! :( Don't give up windows completely, you never know when you will require it to download heavy files for linux, using the only available windows software for your faster isp.
About Evolution, if it can import from mozilla or any other client that has its windiws versions too, then first import all OE mails in the windows version of the other client and see if Evolution can now import those messages.
Regards,
Rony.

RC,
Please fix your MUA to auto wrap.
1. Copy your messages to the IMAP server from your OE6. Set up an IMAP server on a Linux box, in case you don't have access to an IMAP server. 2. In Evolution, copy the messages from the server to your local folders _or_ leave the messages on the server; this will allow you to use any MUA to access them with IMAP protocol.
Let us know if it worked for you.
