Or, if the IMAP server is the new linux box, just configure it to put folders (files) in $HOME/mail/. When I converted .pst files, I think I simply took one folder at a time and put it on the imap server and. mv /var/mail/<my_user_name> ~/mail/ Recent post has implied that OE use mbox format, (but cannot handle folders larger than 5 Mb correctly), importing to OE and just moving the folders (files) is another way if there is no IMAP server available (without dial-up and transferring 250 Mb twice). -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
