The mbox works, but then you need to have a working windows partition,
because you have to click on every item of your mailbox(=sent, inbox,
aso)
to save it in mbox format.
What do you mean to click on them? What do you think that clicking on
them does that changes them to mbox?
When you open All messages, you get
Received
outbox
sent
Drafts
Trash
A right click on the mouse will give you a menu with an export line. This
export will result in a received.mbs,outbox.mbs,sen.mbs aso.
These files will be imported in a new installation of opera without any
problem.
My mswindow partition reboots all the time, but I can get the mail
copied
from the linux partition. I copied the mail dir to another opera
installation, without result.
Maybe the copy was corrupt?
Partitions don't reboot. Operating systems reboot. What symptoms are
you experiencing, that you think that the partition is reboot
After logging in into WinXp, the Desktop is generated and after doing
something, I don't know what, the keyboard will be ready to start. And
then windows restarts/reboots and gives the job back to Grub.
