Check with ximian software for an outlook replacement (www.ximian.org).  =
They have a non-free plug-in for evolution that should do the trick.  =
I'm not sure on ximian's BSD support, however.  So that will be =
something interesting for you to learn about.  :)
read into the "mbrlabel" command for an easy way to edit your disklabel =
to see windows.  If that doesn't work,
try manually doing it with "disklabel"

Subject: Seeing Windows "extended" partitions


I am a newbie to netbsd, and *nixes in general for that matter.  On the =
plus side the little I have dealt with *nix systems as opposed to =
windows has strengthened my commitment to migrating hopefully =
permanently, but I have some questions as well.

My work is run using Windows servers, and the mail and calendar are =
handled by Exchange.  Is there something that can replace outlook client =
for *nixes, as it would be handy to be able to store my mails on the =
harddrive for off line access, and as most of my mails are on the =
harddrive it would be nice to be able to find something that can read =
the outlook files and convert them to needed formats if it is necessary.

The other question has to do with the hard drive partitioning.  I =
partitioned the harddrive, but all the useful information on the windows =
side is kept in the "extended" partition.  With the NetBSD fdisk, I can =
see the partition but not into it.  Is there a way to see into the =
partition?  I have read the i386 FAQ's and the NetBSD guide (which is =
excellent, I must add), but there is nothing that I have found referring =
to this problem, or do I need to redo my harddrive and copy all the data =
onto a primary partition?

I would also like to apologise for sending any html emails before.  I =
thought it was set to plain text, but checked yesterday and this does =
not seem to be so.

Thanks in advance,

Rohan
