er, i shoulda been more clear. When I mean mail system I meant what software, that is, UW IMAP? Cyrus ? Courier? I'm not famillar with SuSE's email server software, also what software do you plan to use on the debian side? And do you have the passwords for those users so you can migrate the authentication?(or you could just assign them new ones and tell them). A last resort method, a method I used for migrating from UW IMAP to Cyrus almost 2 years ago at my company was to bring up the cyrus server and have users copy/move the mail from the old server to the new server via their IMAP clients since there was not a solid migration system that I could trust to do the migration offline. So: 1) what email server software does SusE use?(one way to try to find out is to telnet to ports 110 and 143 and look at the banner the software sends out)2) what email server software(UW IMAP, Courier, Postfix, other?) do you plan to use on the debian system? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
