Well, the KMail that comes with KDE 3.3 is quite good, and if I saw correctly, it has an "import messages" function that seems designed specifically to import emails from Outlook Express (version 4?) Haven't tried to use it though.
Install thunderbird on the windows partition where you have outlook. Thunderbird will read the outlook email, the outlook file is usually outlook.pst - I think it's always .pst; you may may have to search for it. I've had more success searching with a dir /s at the root directory.
Anyway, once thunderbird (or mozilla email, or a few others) has read in the outlook file, you will have your thunderbird files.
I dual boot. I keep my data in a FAT32 partition so I can access it from Linux or Windows. I store my email in that partition. I can then access the same email just as easily from thunderbird on the windows side, or the linux side. Works great, no problems.
That's what I used to do anyway. Now I use yahoo email.
