This may amuse you. but... AFAIC moving the mailbox / setup in Outlook is trivial compared to moving a linux mail client, the config and data is spread out over ~6 directories and most of the B****rs are hidden. 1 day - ha! Bet you even stopped for lunch, last time I upgraded it took me 5 days to get mail back on an even keel. Still, I'm sticking to linux. Only got one M$ box left for client work, I suppose I could move it to VM but seeing its a 10 year old Gateway notebook thats still just chugging away ...
