I wouln't advise that. I had the same idea and thought since I was running mozilla on both windows and linux I could put all my mail on a fat32 partition and share it between the two OSs.. It worked for about a week and then the linux version of mozilla corrupted the files or something because the windows version of mozilla would always lock up when it tried to open a folder. Maybe there are minor incompatibilities or maybe it was just bad luck but I wouldn't risk it. leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
