I assume you are pointing your mail client in Linux (Kmail or 
Thunderbird??) to look at mail folders on you Win98 partition.  This 
works fine since Win98 installs on FAT32.  WinXP (by default) installs 
on a NTFS partition.  However, if you have a 3rd partition that is 
FAT32, you can tell both your windows mail client and your linux client 
to use mail folders on that partition.  I do this at home, but I haven't 
checked email in windows in nearly a year.
