Warren: The method you described sounds much more elegant, than the
method I used to move my main e-mail account.
I moved my wife's e-mail account, on her box, from MS Outlook Express to
Mozilla Mail 1.1 on Windows, a month or so ago. I am going to try
moving her e-mail to Mozilla Mail 1.0.1 on Psyche, via your method. If I
can get it to work, I will learn something about Linux in the process.
Thanks!
