Re: [LUG] outlook express convertion

 

Excuse the unthreaded response.

My understanding is that Thunderbird does this on Windows only, has this
changed?

Lots of tools exist for Windows conversion - dbxconv is one such.
Certainly it is easier to convert your data to open formats before
moving off the system with the proprietary products on.

The kmail converter tools (packaged in Debian and all good distros)
handles some Outlook express formats, and will do the import from within
your preferred operating system. Although as far as I am aware the
format is proprietary - so I guess Microsoft may have changed it.

Although if you don't do kmail/KDE, it may be as easy to install
Thunderbird on Windows and export the data first!
