I only use POP3 to retrieve email (the merits of POP3 vs IMAP not withstanding) and store locally so I have easy and offline access to it. For about two years now I've been using XP to retrieve and check my email, upgrading through various versions of TB without a problem. Now I'm confronted with an issue I've not faced before (or attempted to confront). Transferring archives from one computer to another. I know where they are kept on the XP machine, I /think/ I know where they are kept on my FreeBSD box (nothing a little ls -a won't help me find). My question is if this even possible since Mozilla Foundation went to using binary archives for the email. I think it might be, but I'm not really wanting to waste the time to only be frustrated in the end. Has anyone attempted such a migration? Did you need any special tools? If not, was it as simple as copy/pasting into the appropriate directory structure? Or do I need to set up the accounts in TB on my FreeBSD box /first/ then copy/paste? TIA for reading and especially for helping (if you can)!
