Excerpted from the website:

Why start a website?

It was April 2005 when I bought a Powerbook G4 laptop. A lot of my colleagues were using Macs and after one of them showed me the possibilities of his Powerbook I was convinced. As I like to keep most of my email for reference I wanted to have my Outlook 2003 .pst file converted to the mbox format used by the Mac's email clients Mail and Entourage. Believe me, that ain't easy... The first try was with a $10 program from littlemachines. That didn't work very well. A lot of dates and times were incorrectly converted. It came up with dates which were in 2016 and later! On top of that the conversion took ages and it was not possible to keep the email on the PC and Mac synchronized. Next was a long search for the perfect solution. Many times I came across the use of an exchange server as solution. From what I've heard it is not easy to setup such a server and as it is a piece of software made by Bill's software factory I don't believe it's the best way to go. Then I found Bernard Teo's web site on cutedgesystems. One of the programs he has made is PostfixEnabler. A great $9.99 front end program to turn your Mac into a mail server with POP3 and IMAP within seconds. Then I configured an IMAP account in Entourage. I'm sorry MacFreaks but to be honest, this piece of software from Bill's store looks a lot better than Mac's Mail... Next step was to log in on this account with my PC, drag and drop the Outlook 2003 email folders to this account and copy these folders from the IMAP folders on the Mac to the "local" account on the same Mac. Unfortunately you end up with winmail.dat attachment if the email has not been sent as plain text. I expect to have a Macmini soon and will configure this little Tiger into an email, web and FTP server. Then my Powerbook will just have a local copy taken from the Macmini. Turning a Mac into a web server is even easier! Took me approximately 6 seconds and I took my time... During my long search for solutions somebody came up with this link: mundy.org. If that link is dead then try this one and do a search for the "ISP-In-A-Box project". Wish this guy had written a book about it!
