Hi All,

I use OE6 with OE-Quote fix in win98 and I use sylpheed under Linux. I have a voluminous mail box folder under OE which I would like to conver to standard mbox format which can be read by sylpheed so that I need not go back to OE for email. I searched for a utility and found dbx2mbox-0.3.0. I downloaded the source and installed it. I copied one of my OE6 folders and ran ./dbx2mbox on it. It ran alright but I do not know where it has placed the converted mbox file to be read in sylpheed. Also man page says it converts .dbx files from OE5. I doubt whether it has converted the OE6 .dbx file at all.

Is there any other better utility or is there any other thing to be done on dbx2mbox-0.3.0 itself ?

Pl help

SRIKANTH NS enlightened us with:

The easiest way to do this IMO is to install an IMAP server, connect to it with OE and put all your email onto it, then read it from sylpheed.

Maybe first test it and then use it. Most of these utilities bring out the help by typing './dbx2mbox
