If I may offer a small suggestion from a newbie... use IMAP. It is MUUUUCH easier than it sounds and you will accomplish your goal in a matter of minutes. Fedora comes with Dovecot, an IMAP mail server that can be installed with just a few clicks of a mouse. You will have to edit one config file to specify the location of the mailboxes, but even that can be copy-n-pasted from the help documentation. Once you've done that, simply go into the services panel and start the service. Once you have Dovecot running, simply add a new "account" to Outlook Express with the type of "IMAP" and set the server to the IP of the Fedora box. Outlook Express will show the "Inbox" of the server along side of the normal folders. Then, simply drag all of your messages from the folders in Outlook Express to the "Inbox" on the IMAP server. Now, here's the cool part... I mentioned earlier that you could copy-n-paste one line of text from the help documentation to the configuration file of Dovecot. Well, as long as you chose the line that indicates MBOX format using the user's home directory, then you will, more than likely, be able to simply launch your mail client on the Fedora box (I'm using Evolution) and continue working. This is not entirely what I did, simply because I'm anal, but most people tell me it's that easy. What I did to get the Fedora side taken care of was a bit different. Here's what I did... When I did this, I first moved all of my mail to the IMAP mail server with Dovecot. I then lanuched Evolution and setup an IMAP account pointing to the localhost. I then pulled all of my messages from the "Inbox" back to my local folders in Evolution. When I was done, I went back into the services panel, stopped Dovecot, and haven't looked back since. Now, personally, I'm as green as it gets. I know almost nothing of Linux, nor Fedora for that matter. Still, this whole process took me about 30 minutes including reading help documentation, setting everything up, copying messages, etc. That was about a week ago and I haven't had any problems since. Good luck! R/S Ryan
