Well although am using Fedora Core 1 and not 2 , i have been using the
various versions of Mozilla since 1.4 . The folder format that the
Windows version of Mozilla uses is the very same one as the Linux
version of Mozilla . So a simple copy will do the work .
But , please be carefull where you put things , so you will not
accidentally delete the current email .
Try this .
Go to the Fedora Core 2 box and launch Mozilla . Create a
fake account , for example WindowsMail .
Then simmply overwrite those files and you are done .
Kind Regards,
Kostas
