You could use gnus to do that. Just set it up on your real laptop, copy the mail storage from the spare one to some directory on the real laptop and incorporate the new mail into the old storage. You can also do it the other way round, i. e. copy the more recent storage from the spare laptop to the real one, set up gnus to use it and incorporate your old mail into that storage. You can also have several storages if you want to and/or create virtual groups out of mail from the old and the new storage. -- html messages are obsolete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
