OK, I've never delved too deeply into the dirty underbelly of email,

currently in an imap account to gmail and see how that looks.  So I
found this gmail loader app that "supports two mBox  formats
(Netscape, Mozilla, Thunderbird, Most Other Clients), MailDir  (Qmail,
others), MMDF  (Mutt), MH (NMH), and Babyl  (Emacs RMAIL). "

Does anyone know of a quick, easy way to get all my imap-stored mail
into one of these formats? Maybe it already is?



It's very very likely that it's already in one of these formats on the server. Getting them onto your own box... maybe download them all for offline reading in Mozilla (Thunderbird)?

Yeah, if you changed the account to POP3 in thunderbird and had it download everything to your computer (you might not want it to download until you've set it to leave the messages on the server), then you would have it stored locally. I know the BYU CS servers handle both POP and IMAP, I don't know if most servers are set up that way.
