That is likely doable to. I'm just used to copying the files over. I assume when I copy, it will convert from mbox to maildir as well? I've never seen or used maildir before so no idea what it looks like or how it works. That said, I've never had trouble with mbox either. Got a lot on plate today. Will reply to others later. Headed to town to pick up some MUCH needed supplies. Hope my antique car can handle this. o_O Dale :-) :-)
