Thanks all of you for the rapid response. I had forgotten that I could
re-partition the hdd to create space for Linux without wiping the XP
installation; and I don't think I ever realised you could import from
the Microsoft email folders, without needing to export from the Outlook
application.
I think this evening will be spent playing with my USB hdd and
clonezilla, just to make sure I know what's going on.
