Hi, I am new to wine ...but not to UNIX. I am trying to configure an environment that will utilize both win and linux. One issue is to be able to use Outlook Express on RH9 box. Or to be precise to use a mail client without corrupting the Outlook Express Inbox directory.(contains dbx files). - I want to use the same Inbox from Linux and Win OS. When trying to install Outlook Express with the command --debugmsg +loaddll I get a list of dll's of Win OS ...with the instruction to copy them into the system directory of wine - windows. (something like ~/.wine/c/windows/system) my question: where from can I get these dll files? If it is from Windows OS installation CD, then, what is the point ? - the idea is not to use MS OS files.

I recently set up TBird 0.5 to use one common set of address and mailbox files on both W98 and SuSE 9.0. It is working well with 7 different email addresses on 4 different domains. Good luck, Doug
> When trying to install Outlook Express with the command --debugmsg +loaddll Iget a list of dll's of Win OS No you don't. What you see are the internal OE dlls, and the system dlls. But these dlls are supplied by wine, they are usually in /usr/lib/wine and are called like the m$ ones, but the extension is .dll.so instead of .dll If a wine dll is buggy and is preventing you from running a win app, you can optionally use, in some cases, the m$ version of the dll. Note that quite a few dlls can't be native (By M$), but have to be builtin (By wine). If OE can't find some dlls, you can install OE in wine, and start it from the wine fake win directory (Would be something like ~/.wine/fake_c/Program Files/Outlook Express/), but this probably isn't what you want to do, as you what to share the inbox. So what you should do is copy the dlls from c:\windows\system from your windows installation to ~/.wine/fake_c/windows/system/ You simply can't not use M$ OS files, because OE IS a M$ OS file, it's a component of the OS.

If you use these instructions until the completion of the installation of IE6 I think you don't need any DLLs from Windows as they are installed by DCOM98 and IE6 for you. Take Outlook Express from Office 2000 as I explain it and everything should work (note that I did not test Outlook Express very well because I don't use this program).
