My solution is a bit of an overkill, but works fine. I have configured
an imap server (using dovecot). Then I made symlinks on ~/mail to point
to the files used by thunderbird in windows. Then all I have to do is
use an imap compatible client to read those e-mails... And with this
approach, you can install squirrelmail (a webmail program that I believe
comes with FC4).
The only downside of this approach is that when I go back to windows,
Thunderbird has to recreate the indexes for all those folders, but at
least that is a fast operation.
