thunderbird is easier (much easier) than oe for this. it's in the same basic place in TB as OE.
Plus, with TB, you can import from ANYTHING and it works nicely.

Outlook always pisses me off (when not using an exchange server) cause your "one huge ass file" can get corrupted so easily. Also, outlook is very heavy (when not used with an exchange server).

my problems with TB are that is can be a wicked pig if you are doing something on a over 400 emails. I've had the thing go up to 2GB of memory usage. Also, it uses these mail index files that get out of synch a lot and then you have to go delete them. then when you click on a folder and it's got to rebuild them. If you have a folder with 10,000 emails, sort them by subject and delete say 400 of them, forget about it... it will take forever to come back and the memory usage will go up to 2GB.

what they should do is make compressed areas and put the emails there as separate files.. and then build indexes off that. then when the computer is at rest (like at 2am) rebuild the mail indexes in the background.
