Assuming the Outlook client is on a different computer than KMail, you can: 1. Make sure your /var/mail/username mailbox is empty. 2. Create an mbox email folder in KMail. 3. Move or copy all the messages you want to transfer into the new mbox folder. 4. Close KMail. 5. Copy the new KMail (mbox) file to /var/mail/username. 6. Install, configure, start a POP server. (qpopper for example). 7. Download the email in to Outlook via POP. There are probably simpler, more elegant solutions; but it works. Best of luck, Andrew Gould
