I don't know of a good way to do this. I recently moved all my mail from POP to IMAP, but I didn't have 10000 messages -- only about 2000, in 18 folders over 8 accounts. After trying with The Bat! to simply move the messages from a folder in the POP account to a corresponding folder in the IMAP account, and not having any success (it would appear to be copying for about 5 mins then beep with "Server closed connection), I eventually used Thunderbird. What I did: 1. Select all the messages in a folder and export as unix mailbox (which I named "temp") in the Thunderbird Local Folders directory. 2. In Thunderbird, open the temp folder, select all the messages, and drag and drop to the appropriate folder in the IMAP account. 3. Repeat for each folder, choosing to overwrite the "temp" file, not append. In principle this is not different to what I initially tried in TB! -- just drag and drop from local to IMAP folder, and wait for the messages to upload. In practice, TB! couldn't do it, Thunderbird could. -- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
