1. Evolution has an option to import mail from Pine. Perhaps you can
then re-export it from there. Or, you'll just find that you like
evolution and stick with it.
2. You can A) set-up an imap mail server to share the mail or B) put
.mozilla in an NFS share and mount it to /home/bill/.mozilla/
3. I recomend LDAP for this. I share my address book, and much more,
using an LDAP server across multiple platforms and programs including a
nice web interface that I wrote for me/it.
3b. For a worgroup-like solution, I'd recommend using e-smith from Mitel
networks. It has some really great features for just that sort of thing.
