The first big porting task will be to convert my Outlook Express mail folders (2.38 GB) to Thunderbird on Linux. And then start using the Linux PC for my email.
Why am I thinking: Setup an IMAP server, point outlook at it, copy mail folders there, then connect other mail program at it and copy again. I am sure there is a good reason not to do it that way though. I would be surprised if thunderbird can't import from outlook express files directly. Of course I keep my mail on the server anyhow, so it is already imap, and I don't have local folders to move around, so I haven't done that. -- Len Sorensen
