Hi war1,
I've gotten as far as copying the files over to the other machine, but here is the catch. Both machines are running Thunderbird, and in Thunderbird under the Import Mail, I have these selections:
Communicator 4.x
Eudora
Outlook
Outlook Express
Do you know of a way to get Thunderbird to import it's own files?
Cheers!
Cyber,
The easiest way to use to an Thunderbird extension, Mboximport, to import the mbox emails.

Greetings Cyber-Drugs !
Your mail files are inside your profile
C:\Documents and Setttings\<user>\Applicati
in the Mail and (if you use IMAP) ImapMail folders. Each mail folder (Inbox, Sent, etc.) is stored as two files ? one with no extension (e.g. INBOX), which is the mail file itself (in "mbox" format), and one with an .msf extension (e.g. INBOX.msf), which is the index (Mail Summary File) to the mail file.
Copy the mbox files to the other computer. Tell the other program to import mail from the file with no extension.
Best wishes, war1
