Suggestion: For the future, it is possible in IE5 to set the properties of
the account not to automatically download messages (just to retrieve when
desired.) Go to Tools, Accounts, Properties, and uncheck the box at the
bottom. I use IE only to manage some subscriptions for my husband's WebTV
account and know that this will work.

Sorry, I don't have suggestions for converting the mail. Before I changed
this option on my browser I had to manually forward messages to myself and
manually re-file them. Quite a drag!
