The complicated answer is "everything is possible under the sky". Maybe yes, if you ask this question on ms-outlook-users@microsoft.com ;) You will ask them to direct you to a tool that takes a .dbx file, splits it into individual e-mails, in a format that is not proprietary to Microshit and then you can FTP those back to the server, placing them either in ~smurphy/Maildir/new/ or in /var/mail/smurphy - I guess you already see how much time you will waste using Microshit products! -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Q: How many Martians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
