work (the first time of copying the files to the right place lets
Mail know the folders are there, but you still have to tell Mail
again that the messages are there as well.
The import mailboxes command is one of the File menu choices.

p.s. Keychain items can also be imported in a similar fashion.

if I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
