first time poster/long time linux numptie ; converting outlook mails to linux
hey
i need to run a test harness sending/receiving emails on a linux platform, specifically FreeBSD. is there any 'preferred' way of converting Outlook mails to a linux format? thanks in advance |

Best thing I could suggest, is to leave them on your Outlook server, fire up a mail client (like Evolution) on BSD, and import them all. |

i am looking to convert them to a linux readable mail format. i'll go to google and investigate further. :hattip: |
Check out Thunderbird it can read and save .eml type files but I am not sure if there is a version on FreeBSD. Check it out on the Thunderbird forum or their web page.
You will have to install Thunderbird on your Windows machine, I did this a long time ago, and if I can remember correctly id did import Outlook mail at that time. You can then move the files over to your FreeBSD system. I am not sure how this can be done but people at the Thunderbird site may be able to help you. i have a pure Linux machine now and I am using Thunderbird on it. |
I'd suggest trying out the import functions in whatever mailer you're using (such as Evolution, Thunderbird, KMail, or Claws Mail).

You need to first decide what functions you want to duplicate. If you're looking for an Outlook replacement, Evolution is probably your best bet. Just email? Got lots of different options. |
hey guys,
thanks for the very helpful responses. its for a test harness running sendmail on the linux side... |
