Here's a link to a mail uploader that is suppose to work with any IMAP enabled mailer: http://www.cjvandyk.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=157 I haven't tried it myself ... Now for my real reason for posting here - I LOVED your book "The CSS Anthology" and will purchase "Designing Without Tables Using CSS". Thank you for writing such a great book.

Those steps would be ok apart from the first because you'll either need to get at the binary email or write some macro to loop through the mails in whichever client can display them, but if you could do it you need never worry about this issue again :) Or you could import all of the accounts to a Gmail account...
