That's the short answer ;-)
A (slightly) longer answer is:
append the file(s) you want moved over to the appropriate file(s)
on the new place, e.g. 'cat file1 >> file2'
For binary files this won't work (probably), and you may need to move
the messages back to /var/spool/mail/<userid> and reload them that
way. Again, 'cat stuff >> /var/spool/mail/<userid>' is your friend -
just be sure nothing else (like sendmail and friends) can write to
it while you're doing those cats!.
