:) Good to know its slowly working out for you.

So probably evolution is not configured to send and receive using your
account yet? Have you entered POP/SMTP details etc?

Ah, here's fun. You need to import the .pst file into Thunderbird and then
across to evolution as the latter doesn't have the capacity to convert the
.pst file format (yet). You'll need to do the thunderbird install and import
in Windows. Then reboot into Linux and you can import your mail from
thunderbird on the NTFS partition to Evolution.

Chris
