Thanks folks. Yes, I thought I might get more flack for my message than I did. As far as the port, I have since looked at the site for thunderbird, which BTW works on win/mac/linux and it looks like it should be easy to move the mail. I haven't tried it yet, and will certainly return here if I need help with it.
I do appreciate peoples willingness to offer help, even though the purpose is unsavory. I will give you a short idea of why I am thinking of moving back to win. I came to mandrake linux from being a long time mac user and occasional windows user. I was using an ancient mac with ancient OS and wanted a much faster computer. So i built a a very modest box which is vastly better than what I came from. I would have stuck with mac if I had the money, but not really NEEDING any highend mac software (video, sound editing etc) I decided to give linux a try. (yes, I know there is a tons of great linux software.) The experience has been good and in a lot of ways I really liked mandrake. However I had a lot of problems installing new software and generally trying to change things around. It was terrific when I used the software that came with the installation. But installing other things was really difficult for me. For instance, I got my ipod working under mandrake but I couldn't transfer aac files. I successfully installed a program that aloud me to me encode to aac but it appeared not to be compatable with the program I needed to move the files to the IPOD. That is there seemed to be two different software programs that aloud for use of AAC files. I installed one of them and got the encoding to work. But then I seemed to need another one for GTKPOD to be able to transfer the files to the ipod. This is just an example. I know there was a solution and I am sure people would have helped me to find it eventually, but this is the kind of problems that I was having. I can definitely reccomend Mandrake to people switching who want to do basic computer functions and not install allot of new software and change things around. Installation was easy and the system and software were very usable. Unfortunately I never tried the mandrake club service. I understand that might have helped allot in providing ready made rmps of a lot of software. I did want to try it but was just never ready to spend the money on a six month subscription. I wish they offered a very short trial subscription so that one could see its usefullness. I certainly would have paid $5 for instance to use it for a day or a few days in order to try it out. Thanks again! PS: just out of curiosity, is there a way to have both mandrake and windows running at the same time on a single processor? I realize that this would greatly affect system resources, if it is even possible, but I was just wondering. I currently have a dual boot setup.
