This would redownload *incoming* mail, but what about *outgoing* messages sent from the temp setup? My export/import bundle does just that very well. http://vric.free.fr/mac/Emailer/ Howto: Install the scripts on both macs. Make a new folder in the temporary Emailer database to regroup all the messages that will have to be transfered, select them and use my "Emailer -> Eudora" script to export to a Eudora/mbox file. Copy that file to the other mac and import it in the destination database using R. Shapiro's provided "import - unix/Eudora" script. This will restore all messages (incoming AND outgoing). Note: The export script will propose a file name based on the message's title if there's only one message, or the folder's name if multiple messages are selected. The import script will put the imported messages in the currently displayed foler. Known issues: Attachment links are lost in the process (all export scripts I know do that, but at least mine saves attachments paths to the messages' body). Incoming messages created via AppleScript couldn't have attachments anyway (that's a limitation of Emailer's scripting), so text paths is the best we can do. If the incoming attachments are important, use the "leave mail on server"/redownload solution for incoming mail and my export/import for outgoing mail. Outgoing messages *could* be imported and relinked to their attachments, but this would require rewriting R. Shapiro's import script (that's on my to do list). It wouldn't change anything in Doug's situation anyway, since the attachments would still be on his granddaughter's iMac. ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
