The mbox works, but then you need to have a working windows partition,  
because you have to click on every item of your mailbox(=sent, inbox, aso)  
to save it in mbox format.

My mswindow partition reboots all the time, but I can get the mail copied  
 from the linux partition. I copied the mail dir to another opera  
installation, without result.

Maybe the copy was corrupt?
