I'd like to move them to IMAP, so I can get to them offbox and also with Mail.app on my iphone. I already have my incoming mail split to both .incoming/[nnml-group-name] and IMAP folders, and I can see nnimap+localhost:INBOX just fine. First, is there info in the nnml format (like marks) that I'll lose when I go to nnimap? Second, is there an easy way to take everything from nnml:MUMBLE and move it to nnimap:MUMBLE while retaining as much meta-info as possible? Thanks. -- Randal L.
