I went through something like this a while ago...I was moving from exchange to netscape mail...I found a program that will do the conversion but...costs much $$ for a licence....and I only needed it once so I wasn't about to pay for it! I would bet that outlook uses the same mailbox format as exchange so... get MSIM (Microsoft Internet Mail) it has the ability to import exchange mailboxes and convert them to its format (which is a real hack up of unix standard mailbox format...all the messages and headers are stored as ascii text but the line before each message that is usually "From" had weird charicters...8 bitters) anyway..there is then a program on the net somewhere (search for it) that converts from MSIM to Eudora...which uses the same mailbox format as Nutscrape (which is standard maildir format...used by pine etc) -Steve (and all that worked without paying the $700 or so to get the other program... then my hard drive crashed loosing all of that anyway....sigh....) -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -- H.
