I tend to keep using the Windows side of my dual-boot for one-off tasks like this until i figure out how to do that in Ubuntu too. It's great that Ubuntu can read the files stored on my Windows partitions :)
Hope this helps as a 'work-around'
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

 No, you need to do this on Windows. Then copy the mail files to linux.
