Sorry last message wasn't very clear.

Just wondering if it is possible to move Outlook Expresses email into Thunderbird on a linuxbox or if it will import.

I plan on burning the mail files onto a cd and hopefully be able to import them someway.
Anyone know if this can be done?

If you install Thunderbird on the Windows machine with Outlook Express, you'll be able to import the messages. Unfortunately, AFAIK, it cannot import the messages just from the files when running Linux...
