Importing mail from Outlook Express in Windows is a piece of cake but
I don't know about Linux.  All I can suggest is you make sure your
windows partition is mounted and hope that Mozilla can find the mail
or allows you to show it where OE's mail is located.

As for the address book, all you need to do it tell it the name of the
file.  You do select the text option as a cvs file is a text file. 
Once you have done this you should have all your addresses neatly
formatted in your Mozilla address book.  I have done it many times and
never had a problem.

Hope this helps cheers Zeph
