Microsoft Outlook IS a mail client. If you want to receive mail from a mail server (such as sendmail, postfix or, in the Microsoft world, Microsoft Exchange) then you can use Microsoft Outlook or any of a huge number of mail clients on Linux such as Kmail, Evolution, or my personal favourite, Sylpheed, to pick up mail from the mail server. If you want to transfer existing email from your Microsoft Outlook datafiles to a different mail client that isn't Microsoft Outlook, that's a different question. It's my current understanding that you can use Thunderbird on Windows to import a pst file and then import from that into Evolution or, possibly, Sylpheed. If you want to be able to use both Microsoft Outlook and a Linux mail client in tandem, i.e. check and respond to your email from both systems, then you will require a mail server that supports the imap protocol. Depending on who provides your email service (your isp, usually) this capability may or may not be provided. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER! -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
