Send a message via MSN to doctorgonzo
What program are you using on your Mac for e-mail?

Do you have entourage on your mac? if you do try to import your mail boxes into it. then see if there is an option to export a .pst file that you can copy to windows.

I think you can download a free trial from M$. It's part of Office for mac. The trial version comes pre-installed on all mac's so you may want to double check in the applications/office test drive folder.

If all else fails, set up a free Yahoo email account and cc a copy of the email that you want to keep to yourself. eg, forward the email from your Mac to your Yahoo email account, boot up your PC, open your Yahoo email account and read it from your PC. It's not an eloquent solution but it works.
