I'll second that. I mucked around with other options for a while and ran into too many glitches. Outlook crashed on me several times before I had it all done, but was generally much easier to use this imap approach. I think that the University of Washington IMAP server while it has security issues (read any file as a logged in user) probably does allow you to just dump your mail straight into mbox files rather than having to do a second imap transfer to get your files to a usable form on your linux box.
