Voila the converted mbox files. if you have access to an IMAP server (or even if you can temporarily install one on the machine you're running mutt on), you could use outlook to copy the files to an IMAP server; then download the messages into mutt (or if you have access to the IMAP server, and it's running UW imapd, you can even just copy the mbox files wherever you want them). there are also some conversion tools out there, but seems to me it is easier to use IMAP if possible. -- Will Yardley input: william < @ hq . newdream . net . >
