I'm not sure this is for you Curtis, but it might be for someone else. Imapcopy or something similar like offlineimap is pretty much required if you want to copy mailstores user-by-user. This is very doable and the encrypted passwords are not an obstacle - they are your friends. Move account-1 from machine-a to machine-b: On machine-a - backup the password field (oldsecret) for account-1 - set the password to newsecret On machine-b - create account-1 with newsecret [redirect incoming mail for account-1 to machine-b] - run imapcopy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - set the password to oldsecret [redirect incoming imap/pop connects for account-1 to machine-b] done. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
