The following way seems to preserve the original message's headers, so it should be fine. From: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-1.0.7&os=win&lang=it-IT I downloaded the package `Thunderbird Setup 1.0.7.exe' and installed it into my MS Windows xp system by simpy clicking the icon. I launched thunderbird and with: Tools > Import I imported Outlook mail into thunderbird. It took about 20 minutes for my 160 MB mail. I started Gnus, and from the Group buffer did: `G f' and gave gnus the following path: /mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/rodolfo/Dati applicazioni/Thunderbird/Profiles/rmdmn2ve.default/Mail/Local Folders/Outlook Posta0.sbd/mail_folder , where `mail_folder' is the arbitrary name of the plain text file that corresponds to the Outlook folder you want.
