[CLUE-Tech] Moving existing MBOX client file into Postfix on Linux

[Keith Christian]

Hi David,

There are two ways to convert the .dbx files generated by Outlook Express to a
text file format:

1. On Windows, download dbXtract
(http://chattanooga.net/~scochran/DBXtract.htm) which exports each message to
a plain text file.  These can be combined into one file that is close to, or
equal to, the MBOX format.

2. On Linux, KMail is able to import .dbx files (this is what I did.)
