I have reasonable splitting commands setup for all my old mail, but what I intend to do is this: 1. Get all the mail into an nnml format for archivial purposes. 2. Eliminate all the newsgroup type entries, which are dead. 3. Sort all the mail based on a few splitting rules (I have this one covered.) 4. Take the most important pieces of mail (based on something like group or some such) and upload them to my new IMAP mail server under certain groups. (I'm doing this so that I have my important mail with me whereever.) What's the best way to do this? -- Aaron Hsu Jabber: arcfide@xmpp.us "Extend beyond the Mortal . . . ."
