Re: [Evolution] Mail migration from Evolution to Outlook

[Louis Cornet <louis_cornet yahoo com>]

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
