Vista - Convert Webmail to Outlook?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this about outlook, but I thought I thought I would ask.


For email, I am using our hosting company’s webmail system (IceWarp Web Mail 5.6.7 - http://www.icewarp.com/products/icewarp_em...rver_software/).

The webmail program is basic, but it works, and I now have about 4 years of emails on it – so it runs very slow.

My other business partners use POP3 – Outlook for their email, but they go into the office everyday – I work from home and travel a lot – which is why I use webmail.

Now, we are going to switch hosts, and before that happens, I need to get all my webmail off the current host’s server – and get it into Outlook or another client.

Some details:
1) Emails that are stored on current host’s servers – are organized and ready to be removed from the servers - I would like to keep the file structure.

2) I would prefer that the email is put into my Base machine, but I would like the ability to back-up/clone the Base outlook account – and transfer that file to another machine, so on the road I can still access old email.

My question is, how would I go about doing this?

Can outlook do this? Or do I need a different email client?

Sounds like you need to simply connect to your current host via POP3 or IMAP and use outlook to back everything up to a .PST file.
Once you have a PST file you can back it up, move it around and import it to other machines running Outlook.
