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?
