Transferring outlook express contents to new linux pc
Hi guys,
Just taken delivery of a new barebone pc on which I will install and run Ubuntu. I have one really urgent question, though: does anybody have any ideas how I can transfer the Outlook Express email contents of my old Windows pc to my new one (which will NOT have Windows)? I know it is possible to back up and transfer Outlook Express contents from one Windows pc to another by converting into a .UNC file, but will Ubuntu/Mozilla Thunderbird recognise this file? Cheers! |
Install Thunderbird in MS, run it and import your Outlook Express mail and contacts. Once you're done with that, read directions here to back up your Thunderbird profile:
