I did the next:
[Windows]
- Install Mozilla (win32)
- Import mail (or anything else) from Mozilla (it found itself any 
mailer installed on Windows)

then ...

[Linux]
- Mount Windows partition (where you save "new" Mozilla mailbox)
- Set the path to mailbox in Mozilla (linux)

Windows and Linux, both will use the same mailbox.

I did it from Outlook 2000 (win32) to Mozilla 0.9.2 (linux) in a few 
minutes !

Bye and good luck !

Jose
