Personally I would prefer setting up dovecot on the Linux machine and then
accessing its messages from either OS.
Wouldn't that require a Windows MUA that supports Maildir?
Nope, dovecot handles the maildir part, and deliveres finest IMAP, which
many Windows MUAs understand.
But I am not going to be running an email client in Windows. I just want access
to the email to archive it on a real disk drive.
But it you are driving such a setup, why don't you simply use
Putty/Mobaxterm/Cygwin's ssh-client to go to the linux and use a perfectly
cool client there.
I don't know what you mean by "use a perfectly cool client there". As far as
the email client, the architecture is totally straight forward. Breaking my
previous architecture into 2 bite-sized pieces, the 'email' part is:
._____________.
| | Bridge WAN
| MUA |------------ Internet
|_____________|
Linux Guest
The 'shared directories' part is also pretty straight forward (I think... I
don't really know).
.____________. ._____________.
| | Host-Only LAN | |
| NetBIOS |---------------| Samba |
|____________| |_____________|
Windows Host Linux Guest
. Speaking of which: use mutt directly on you linux, and
there is no need to do anything else ;)
I think that's why I'm here. Mutt is a MUA, right? (I've not run mutt, yet.)

Thanks,
Mark.
