I have about 65 folders, and I'm only seeing 3 IIRC. I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding your terminology. But, you have 2 systems. An FC2 with your old mails and and FC5 system where you to move/copy the old mails to. Today, what email client do you use to access your emails on the FC2 system? I believe you have installed the IMAP server dovecot on your FC5 system. You then run your email client on the FC2 system (what client?) With that client you should be able to access your emails as you always have. Yes? Then in your email client you create a new account that points to the IMAP server on FC5. At this point, in a single email client you should see your old emails as well as access the new account. Since this is an IMAP server you will probably see Inbox, Sent, and Trash Folders. Create whatever folders you want on the FC5 system. Then go into each folder on your FC2 system and select all or whatever messages you want to copy and then copy from one account to another. It may be easiest for me to take s screen shot to show you what I mean using Thunderbird....but I hesitate to post a screen shot on a mailing list as others may take a "scream shot" at me for doing so... :-) -- "Today's robots are very primitive, capable of understanding only a few simple instructions such as 'go left', 'go right', and 'build car'." --John Sladek
