Thanks! I got the iBook yesterday, and I love it! I'm sure my wife will too. She's always asking why the Wallstreet takes so long to load web pages. Ha! I've got 512MB of memory in that sucker, but the ol' processor just can't hack it. Anyway, I believe the type of migration you're referring to is an upgrade on the same machine, right? Otherwise, there's got to be some way to export the data from the Powerbook to the iBook first? I found some scripts written by a gentleman name Paul Berkowitz that will perform this export/import for $20. I guess I'll just have to buck up and pay the piper, eh? This stinks because it's so easy with MS Outlook/Winders. But this Mac stuff is a much different animal. I even know a little UNIX (Solaris), but that still doesn't help me since OS 9.2 is not based on UNIX. I don't know what files in OS 9.2 contain the data I need to export. I'm stumped.I use an IMAP server for my email and use the Mail app in OSX also. This keeps all of my email on the server. So I can go to ANY other machine running OSX, or even winders, as long as the mail client supports IMAP (Exchange does, so does Entourage, but Mail seems to work better). Connect to the mail server and wala, all my emails, folders, etc. Works great for on-the-road if you don't have your computer with you and have to borrow one.
I do it this way so I can see the exact same emails from home or work...since I do a lot of customer correspondence from home.
Now, if your work server doesn't support IMAP, then it won't help you. And since you currently are using POP, I don't know if switching to IMAP will create copies of everything on your computer, on the IMAP server. Just a thought, would definitely save you next time.
