Len,

I did search the Users Guide and IMail Knowledge Base.  However, I was
searching for "importing mailboxes," "exporting mailboxes,"  "moving
mailboxes," "mailboxes," and etc.  And my search results offered a lot of
very good information, which I may need in the future.  But, my results did
not offer me a solution to moving my mailboxes to another mail server.

So I used my third resource and asked my question on the IMail forum.

Please don't reply to this subject any longer.

Ron

I think "it's in the Imail manual and knowledge base" is euphemistic enough
for RTFM.

That's why a lot of people spent 100's of hours writing/maintaining
manuals, knowledge base articles, and list archive.

mail admins really ought to have at least thumbed through the
.pdf.  Control-F and a few guesses at the keywords is all they need to do.

Everybody deserves a big, fat RTFM right in the kisser once in a while.

RTFM is not an insult.

Coming in here with dumb@ss questions that are answered in plain daylight
in the FM and complemented in the KB + list archives is an insult to those
here willing meet someone halfway.

The questioners won't do a little homework but they expect us to type it
all out, for the n-th time?
