Yes, I should have joined the Mozilla Thunderbird list a long time ago and post this question there... but I know that *pinoys* here rock! hehehe.. o cya tama na ang pagsipsep..
I have installed XandrOS (dual-boot with XP for the meantime... and then... *laugh*) on one of our PC's here (to be used by one of our profs). I wanted him to stay away from M$.. so I *sold* Linux to him. In a separate partition I put in XandrOS.. then I installed firefox and thunderbird for his internet access and email, respectively.. my next task was to move over the files and settings from M$ XP to Linux. Emails first. He was using Outlook Express as his MUA. The problem with the OE is that it cannot export mails (address book is no problem) into anything. grrr... I was hoping that I can export his email messages in OE as plaintext.. but Micro$oft didn't fail to disappoint me.. So I rebooted to XP and installed Thunderbird 1 and imported everything from OE. I was thinking of exporting his emails (imported from OE) from Thunderbird; since he will be using the Thunderbird in XandrOS. Guess what? yes, there's no Export function either. So I explored the Thunderbird Directory to look for the *emails* in plaintext so that I can just copy it over to Linux. well, tough luck.. i didn't find any.. Any workarounds from the generals of the field?
