Dovecot Migration from OS X to FC4

[Lovell McIlwain]

Actually Im sorry I did forget to mention that test... I was able to connect
via SSL with no problem, and I was able to set up a new mailbox.  That is
how I was able to find out where it was looking for mailboxes so I knew
where to copy mine.  Once I created the new mailbox, I looked for its
location, and I copied my existing mailboxes to that directory.  I used scp
from the from the FC4 machine to pull the files from the OS X machine so I
could make sure the permissions were properly set on the FC4 machine.

I did not try to copy a message into that new mailbox that I created so I
will give that a shot.  If that does work, does that mean that I will have
to create new mailboxes for each existing mailbox and then cat the contents
of each existing mailbox into the newly created mailbox?
