Hi,

Outlook 2002 SP2.

How to export my (many) Outlook folders and messages to a UNIX mail-readable
format?

I did of course try File | Import and Export ... | Export to a File. And
selected Windows CSV in the hopes that on my target UNIX machine I'd find some
way of getting this into, in my case, elm (a line-oriented UNIX mail reader).

The first show-stopper I ran into is that this operation won't work recursively
on folders.

I'm a programmer and if I have to write some VB (I use 6.0) to do this, that's
fine.

There should be some tools at http://www.slipstick.com/config/convmsg.htm to
help with this.
