Using mozilla-mail as an intermediate software works in the
Outlook-to-Evolution way, but I can't get it to work in the
Evolution-to-Outlook way:
1) Exporting Evolutions folders to mbox files work fine
2) Copying the files into the mozilla dir and opening the folders in
mozilla works too
3) But Outlook Express / MS Outlook refuses to import Mozilla mails
(Only Eudora, Outlook, MS Exchange,Netscape Communicator...). When
pointed to the Mozilla directory (.../user/Mail/Local Folders/), the
Import tool says: "No messages can be found in this directory".
I have tryed the import tool with every possible combination with
directories (/user/Mail/, /user/, ...) and with source mail-client
(Eudora, Outlook, MS Exchange, Netscape, Communicator,...) but the
answer is always the same.
Does anybody know a trick for this? Or another way to import emails from
Evolution to Outlook?
Thanks,
Louis
