I can't say regarding usernames/passwords, as I dont know courier at all, if they have their own user DB or what, but regarding spools.. 1. use maildir2mbox to convert the spools to mbox format. OR 2. use my maildir patch for qpopper (but then you'd have to convert YOUR mbox files to maildir (assuming YOU have spools on the same box) with mbox2maildir). so, neither really has an advantage in terms of ease, just in terms of end-result reliability/performance. -Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
