Hi Les and list: It looks like the least costly way to do this is to use gmail and imap as someone suggested earlier. There are a couple other options I've found so far: one is called "message save", and it's one you have to buy. They are offering 40 per cent off to switchers. The second is apparently a freeware program called Litlemachines," Both of these convert folders into M.box files. (think I'm spelling that correctly):). Which you can then port over to mail over a network or with an external drive.
I've seen files done that way, but it's been a few years, and I don't recall the process someone used to accomplish it. Anyhow, I'd like to know a foolproof way, and I'll continue to explore this. Hope this helps someone a little. The message save sounded like the easiest.
