A few google searches suggested simply copying it over from the XP box

addresses, themes, settings, etc.
I meant for Outlook and many other clients the easy route is into
Thunderbird on Windows, and then over to Thunderbird on GNU/Linux.

The Outlook export uses the API, they use to include it in the GNU/Linux
version of Thunderbird even though it wouldn't work without the relevant
Microsoft DLLs for accessing the Outlook mail store.

Does this mean Outlook (and Outlook Express) can be transferred to Thunderbird more or less seamlessly?
