If the destination server is running IMAP, you should be able to add an account on the mail client that has the local folder and drag the messages to imap folders - or even it's inbox. The format conversion will be handled on the server side. You can hold messages in local MUA folders temporarily if you need to convert a server, then push them back. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
