theres no need to move the messages to another imap server and recive them
again, either use outlook to export it or as stated by carlos, get one of
these converter tools they are quite reliable and works perfectly.

the problem with windows is it doesnt understand standards mailbox formats
as present on unix like systems, they usually put everything into .dbx or in
outlook 2000 in a .pst format.
