RE: [newbie] MS Outlook
Dennis, If you just want to change the Outlook format on an individual basis, before you send, click Format/Plain Text - To change your default format, in the Outlook screen click on Tools/Options/Mail Format. You'll see a drop down arrow for HTML, Plain Text, et al.

In the first case, SO Writer would load and function for a while -- and suddenly disappear completely. I suspected 5.2 had caused a problem, and tried an upgrade on another installation (8.1 to 8.2) Now SO 6.0 seemed to be running okay, but when I try to save a file I get this notice: StarOffice 6.0 Error saving the document Untitled1: Wrong parameters The operation was started under an invalid parameter. Also, trying to run setup. it starts to load, and the icon hourglass runs, and then it also disappears. An help will be greatly appreciated. Bob Bob, if you know where the main files are for star office, and I suspect they are in /usr/local, go there and check permissions on the /usr/local/soffice file (or whatever it is called). If you don't know, do a slocate, or locate or whereis or[oops didn't finish) to find the file and check the permissions. The above seems to have gone out as HTML, can someone confirm. I am having a devil of a time figuring out how to get outlook to stop sending in HTML. Dennis M. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] MS Outlook
Ok how about this for a solution? You can select multiple items of mail and then do a File | Save As and give the name of a text file. I think I could pretty easily write a console app for windows that would parse that text file and reforward each email so that the FROM line is still intact. This would fix the side effect of forwarding a 100 pieces of email that all have your address on it, subsequently hiding the original FROM line. However, I would only know how to do this using an SMTP server, but I assume we all have access to one of those.

I've had a look at vmwares site, in their required software section ( http://www.vmware.com/support/linux/doc/sysreqs_linux.html ), they state that a kernel version 2.0.32 or higher in the 2.0.x series or in the 2.2.x series is required, and that glibc version 2 or higher is needed. Perhaps vmware simply wont work with 2.4.x kernels yet, but you can try other ways of setting it up: if you're installing from an RPM, try installing the tar.gz file instead, or vice versa. At some point in the installation it will say "Checking modules against kernel version" or something similar. If it tells you that it needs to build custom modules, say yes and see what the output says. Are there any failure messages at all? Hope this helps...

To update the vmware modules (not real clear as its been some time since I've done this) you need to re-install vmware and let it build custom modules based on your new kernel. More info on how this works should be found on the vmware website. Cheers Dave Thank's Dave I agree whit you... I do uninstall and I reinstall it in new kernel but the problems continued. Do You knows how modules are necessary to install VMware ??? ( I know it's hard question ) So don't hurry about it !!!

I'm quite happy with KMail. But your original query was about importing the collection you had in Outlook. I don't know of any program that will do that but i'm very new too. What you could do in Outlook is Edit - Select All, Edit Copy then paste the result into Notepad. Then in Linux you can view your Notepad texts using your choice of text editor via /mnt/windows/whatever folder you used for your texts Cheers -- Bob Parker
Re: [newbie] MS Outlook
There is a companion piece of software to KMail called kmailcvt. It is a utility that lets you import various address book types, including MS Outlook Express among others. The address book in KMail is still fairly primitive when compared to Outlook, but it's getting there. One thing you have to be sure to do after performing an import is to go into: SettingsConfigurationAppearanceAddress Book tab and from there change the layout from the traditional layout to another layout such as KAB. That's the only way your recently imported contacts are viewable.
