[nfbcs] [spam] Re: Best way to restore?

[George]

	If you are having problems exporting and importing data from and to 
Outlook, change to Mozilla Firebird. I had a terrible time trying to 
take my messages from my old computer to my new one with Outlook! I even 
tried by using a third computer, but the only thing I did was to lose my 
time.
  But, when I decided to try Firebird, everything went well and almost 
automatically.  Well, I don't know if it would work from a .pst file.

Outlook is wonderful, but I don't want to use it again if I have to 
worry about exporting/importing my data. It's so easy with Firebird!
