Mozilla 1.01 in Linux does not have that feature (although the Help says that it does). I do have Mozilla 1.1 on that box on MS Windows, so I am going to try to Import first into Mozilla 1.1 as Martin suggested (below). Thanks!

I can access the VFAT data without any problem from Linux, the problem is importing the Outlook Express 6 messages into Mozilla Mail 1.0.1

I haven't tried that method, but I will try it. The method that does *NOT* work for me in Evolution Mail is the drop down menu, "Edit, Copy" and then "Edit, Paste", which works for me in Kmail and Mozilla Mail 1.0.1, without any problem.

Yes. I read it in the Psyche Release Notes, a few minutes ago.

Thanks! I am going to try Importing my Outlook Express 6 Messages into Mozilla Mail 1.1 in MS Windows on that box and then see if I can Import the Messages into Mozilla Mail 1.0.1 in Linux, since it's dual boot and I have no problem accessing the data on the VFAT partition.

Special thanks to both of you, Adam and Martin, for replying to me!
