Answer that and you'll have the meaning to life... Seriously though, there
are several different operating systems out there (I personally use about 3
on average to get things done) pick the ones you like and go after it/them!
I think they're all a blast!

Re: [newbie] Reading Outlook email files under Linux
Why cant microsoft find one path thd stick with it? Why does outlook express
have to take over three seperate parts of the drive and who knows how much
of the registry.

Hi, Under Outlook Express you can save to text files easily. Just go to File menu then save as and pick save as text.

Re: [newbie] Reading Outlook email files under Linux
Oh it does. But it will save that email to a file. I would love to append others to that text file, but that option does not seem to exist in OE. It did in my OS/2 reader and was very practical. Here it would mean duplicating dozens of emails into many files. Not practical.

RE: [newbie] Reading Outlook email files under Linux
If you don't mind the lack of formatting, go to c:\windows\application
data\identities\{bunchofnumbersandletters}\microsoft\outlook express\
Find the .dbx file of the box you're looking for (inbox I assume) and open
it with a text editor - viola! It won't be in mailbox format, but it works
in a pinch.

I just Cut and Paste to a text file and save in on C:\..then in linux you can just open it up from there.
