Hello, There's a utility called mbox2dbmail (I think) that will convert those. Probably the easiest way would be to copy all your mail from the old server to a temporary place on the new one and run it there (otherwise you have to also setup network access from your old server to the database on your new one). It's been quite a while since I've done that, and I think at the time it required a simple shell script to run through all the mailboxes and run it on each one ... search the archives of this mailing list and check man pages for more info. Reply back here if you get stuck, and I'm sure someone can help.
