There is one major change which can cause troubles: if there are mailboxes within mailboxes, Mail in Tiger uses the convention that there can be no mail messages at the same level as a mailbox, i.e. you cannot have a folder which has both a subfolder and a saved mail message. This really s***s, but it is the awful old mbox standard. If she has such things, Mail will balk. I had other troubles *moving* mailboxes from IMAP server to IMAP server, but they wouldn't apply here... Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
