Hi folks,
I've been around UNIX for a long time, mostly Solaris, but also Linux. However, it's all in a server/data center environment, never done the desktop *nix thing. So, after my wife's latest very nasty Windows malware experience, I moved her PC to Fedora Core 2. That went very well, with one major exception.
I need to move her mail folders from Mozilla on Windows to Mozilla on FC2. Anyone done this or have any advice?
Simple copy doesn't work? (with perhaps dos2unix)
My recommendation for such transactions is to always use an IMAP server as in intermediate step.
- copy local mail/folders on to the imap server [on the old machine/email-client] - copy mail/folders from the imap server to the local machine [on the new machine/email-client]
