Dear Mozilla newsgroup.

About a year ago I switched from Outlook Express to Mozilla. Through
Outlook Express I could convert the e-mails in my directories to Mozilla
readables. Some time ago I decided to reverse that action but now I can not
find a possibility in Mozilla or Outllook Express to convert the e-mails
back to Outlook readables.

Has someone over there a solution for this problem?

Sorry for my English, not my native language.

It's been a while since I last touched Outlook Express, but I have to
say, message conversions are a pain with it. Does it not have an import
feature?

IIRC, Mozilla uses a standardized mbox format to save all message
folders. I believe the standard has been around for many years ( at
least as far back as '98, probably much older than that though). If
Outlook Express cannot handle it, let it be a lesson to all MS users.

Look around the Web - you may find utilities to do the conversion.

An extreme solution (although simple), if you have an IMAP account, is
to upload the folders there, and receive them again using Outlook Express.
