The family iMac is about to move to another life and I need to capture my<br>
wife's Outlook Express e-mail files and address book for some other mail<br>
reader. If we go with some Linux box for her, what are the mail reader and<br>
export/import options for doing this? Does 'thunderbird' have a way to<br>
import M$ mail and addresses?<br>
<br>
TIA.<br>
