If that mailbox is a single file (the Folder-type storage for the account is not used), then its data-fork is pretty much the standard BSD-style text mailbox and should be understood by CGPro as is, given that the end-of-line symbols are converted from MacOS (CR) to the new host system (Windows - CRLF, or Unix - equals to MacOS X - LF). <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Migration.html#MacOS> mentions the SIMS Accounts Extractor utility, which can be used to generate the list of SIMS accounts in the format ready for importing into CGpro. Once the accounts are created in CGPro, you can use the POP3 migration utilities shipped with CGpro <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Migration.html#POPMove> to migrate mail from SIMS (should be running and accessible via TCP/IP) to CGPro (should be running also). As I said above, the text mailboxes in SIMS are pretty much like text mailboxes in CGPro, so if you have account file some.user in SIMS directory, you can transfer it (using some utility which converts EOLs) to {CGProBase}/Accounts/some.user.macnt/INBOX.mbox file (better when CGPro is not running, since the account info is cached and changing account files behind CGPro's back may confuse the server). When CGPro is started, the mail in account some.user (in the primary domain) will be accessible. The drawback is that the mailboxes transferred this way will lack some CGPro-specific info (the Received date, flags and the unique message ID) and CGPro will have to build that info on the fly each time the mailbox is accessed. This may be not a problem for POP3 users whose mail is not left on the server: all the new messages will have that additional info, and the older ones are supposed to be deleted by POP3 clients. If the account will be accessed through the WebUser or IMAP protocol, then it's recommended that all the messages from Inbox are copied to some other IMAP folder: during this transfer the messages will get the additional info. -- Best regards, Dmitry Akindinov ======================================================================= When answering to letters sent to you by the tech.support staff, make sure the original message you have received is included into your reply. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
