My current weblog.
Monday, September 16, 2002As Run DMC said, "It's tricky."
All of the technical issues seem easy enough. I'll use Cygwin/XFree86 to integrate Evolution with my Windows desktop because I dislike using VMware for interactive sessions. Need to figure out the best way of routing my email, but I don't forsee any trouble once I choose a course of action. I think that what I want is to use fetchmail for retrieval to a single local mailbox, let ifile sort it, Evolution configured for local delivery, and IMAP for remote access...
The real problem is getting 900MB worth of email archives into Evolution. The manual says to import my data into Mozilla (or another mbox compatible mailer), and then import that into Evolution. Nice in theory, in practice Mozilla crashes every time that I try. Gonna upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2a, maybe they've already fixed whatever the problem is... Update: They haven't.
If I can't get Mozilla to import my mail, I'm afraid that I'll have to do something silly like migrating all of my messages via IMAP.
