Then put your outlook folder on the IMAP server. On the linux machine you have the messages archived as text files. These can be used/archived as you like. 2) Use a different email program. You may even put together a small program using delphi, BCB++ or VB, that archives your incoming email in a databases. 3) Use a linux machine (ok, again :^) and put together a system using fetchmail that, automagically, archives your incoming message. THIS is my preferred solution. Best Regards P.S. I've manually added a tag to the message, please take care of them Pietro F.
