Put thunderbird on the mac first and use it's import function. Now you have a mostly) transparent migration process by just relocating the thunderbird files to a new machine. Moving pst files is always a bad idea.<br><br>
_USING_ pst files is always a bad idea :-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 2:08 PM, John Mills <<a href="mailto:johnmills@speakeasy.net">johnmills@speakeasy.net</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

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>
