Below is text I copied from Mozilla 1.0.1 Help. My belief is that you _can_ Import Outlook Express files and I plan to do that, probablly next week, from OE 6, for my primary e-mail account, which is large.

You will need to make the VFAT partition with your data available to Linux, so you can Import the files into Linux and Mozilla.

One of the things I did not like about Evolution e-mail was that it said it could only Import from Outlook Express 4.x and for later versions to import into Mozilla and then into Evolution. Another thing I did not like about Evolution e-mail was that when I tried to Copy a message (I get the Digest version) and Paste into a Compose window, I couldn't get that to work.

Mozilla is much more configurable, and I appreciate that,greatly, for Security reasons.

Importing Mail Messages

To import mail messages from Netscape Communicator, Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora, begin from the Mail window:

1. Open the File menu, and choose Import. You see the Mozilla Mail Import Wizard.
2. Follow the instructions to import mail messages.

For Netscape Communicator, the wizard imports all Communicator mail folders included under Local Folders. Imported mail is added as a new folder under Local Folders in the Mozilla Mail window.
