OFB Community Mailing Lists

[Don Parris]

I am now finding a little time to get back to the box that belongs to
this family I'm helping.  They had Earthlink, and chose to change
services at the same time they opted to try my services.  I gave them
one of the ministry's spare boxes, with Ubuntu, and have theirs here.

I found their mailboxes from earthlink - appears to be an Access
database and some other interesting *.dbx format (appears to be
Earthlink's).  I also recovered a WAB file.  Any idea what my chances
are of migrating the data to a format that Evolution (or T-bird, for
that matter) can handle?  Or how to go about it?

Seems like it should be fairly simple to open these files on another
doze box (if worse comes to worse), and ship the old e-mail/address
data across the 'Net.  However, "seems" might be my famous last words.
;)  The lady of the house is the prominent computer user, and is
resigned to a loss of data, if that's what it comes to.  However, I do
have her data - it's just knowing how to get it into a usable format.

Any input at all is welcome.
Don
