I'm a KMail guy and my use of Thunderbird (at work) has been fairly
unsophisticated, so someone with more experience can probably give you
better options, but I'd start by looking for an "import" command that is
meant to transfer mail from one installation to another.
Both kmail and thunderbird use basically the same mailfolder format; the
difference is in the indexes. And it is the same format used by plain unix
mail, mutt, pine, alpine, balsa... as long as you use mbox, not maildir.
And it is also a text format: any editor should be able to open them -
even change it, if you know the format. But of course, a 1Gb mbox file is
some thing to cough and choke at.
I would try mc.
Btw (OT), how you guys handle old emails? Delete all older than 2 years? Move
to other place place? Keep all your email on your "current" computer?
I changed several computers last few years (mostly desktops and laptops I got
from company) and every time I "make a backup" but never put it back on new
machine?
I move to yearly mailboxes: account-2005, ...2006, etc. The problem with
mail archives is that they don't work from a CD/DVD, because mail programs
want to open them r/w.
