RE: Moving mail from Mac to PC

If you are doing IMAP, the problem is relatively easy. Install
Outlook Express on the Mac. Choose not to import mail. Open and
configure Outlook Express as an IMAP client. Import the mail boxes
from your previous email program. Drag mailboxes to the server. They
will be available to you when you log in from a PC.

If you are doing POP, I wonder if importing the mail into Outlook
creates files that can be read by the PC version (as when you make a
Word file, it can be readable cross platform if the extension is
correct). Outlook extension is .pst I believe.

RE: Configuring Mac Outlook Express for Internet Mail.

Edit->Preferences->Email-> New Account works for me.
