The message was lost. This does a fine job of making both sets of mail files the same, effectively replacing the box9 files with the box6 mail files which was what I wanted to do in the first place. But now I would also like to keep the existing messages and add to box9 any new messages that box6 has collected. If that is possible it is not obvious to me from looking at the man page list of options. What option/s should I be using to copy only the differences?
