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 Alimin Bijosono Oei wrote: > Hi there, > > I am using Mozilla 0.93 and also Netscape 6.1.
