Once I had a similar problem with mail in Outlook, and wrote a small
Perl script which exports the mail to text files, and from there on you
can use Mail::Folder or whatever to process it and store in mailboxes
accessible from linux programs. Several issues however:
1. You need Perl installed on Windows. It's free, of course.
2. You need a basic skills in Perl.
3. I didn't deal with the issue of Hebrew, since all emails I needed to
process were in English. There may be problems I am not aware of.

P.S.: I don't know X mail client I can recommend.
