I did export my normal Outlook-Archive into a dbf and then datapumped that
stuff into an IB-DB. Unfortunately, I did switch/restructure my computers
quite often in the last 18 months, so I have no complete message-archive any
more.
If anybody is willing to send me his complete message-archive (anything
would do, Netscape, Outlook, Outlook Express) I would be more than happy to
extract a new database from this. Bandwidth is not a problem, I have plenty
of those. My mail-account can take up to 50MB mails, and I can open an
ftp-server for anyone to upload the stuff if its larger than 50MB (which I
suppose)

mail to nick at kaputnik dot com and I can provide you upload-info

CU, Nick
