Mail... (#3)

I've abandoned Mail for Thunderbird. It stores mail in the mbox format, now I have no need for changing anything. Now I finally can transfer my old email from my old Linux system into Thunderbird on my Mac. It's easy too, just copy the mailbox from the source to the following directory in your own profile:

~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxx.default/Mail/Local Folders/

and voila, you have your old mailboxes migrated to your new Mac system. Start up Thunderbird, and there they are, ready to be opened and messages read. Oh, and remember to create your primary POP3 account before you copy your old mailbox (mbox) files over to directory.
