So far I managed to only import the address book successfully but not with the mails. I have tried to import first all the mails into Mozilla which was installed in Windows, then I tried to set the path of the Local Folder of the Mozilla in Linux to the directory in Windows which is mounted where all the mails were imported from Outlook Espress before. The import process seemed to be alright because I could then see all the folders but when I tried to open each folders, nothing happened. I couldn't see all my mails. Could you tell me how did you do it succesfully? Is that true that when you try to use the import utility for importing the mails in Linux you can't see any option, can you? Whereas for address book importing process, there is at least one option i.e. 'Text'. If there is no option for mail importing, then the only way to do this is by setting the path of the Local Folder to the one in Windows partition, but why did I fail to do this?
