Subject: How to read imported mail folders?

I have a great many received messages, saved in a number of different
folders.  To reduce my use of disk space on my host, I want to download
these (which seem to be ordinary text files, basically) to my Linux box at
home, then use PINE to view/sort/extract these on my own disk.  

    However, when I've tried to do this, I have been unable to make PINE
see them as valid folders.  Any suggestions or pointers for further
reading?  TIA, Richard Ebling

If you have a shell access, you could just compress/tar/gzip/zip the whole
mail directory and uncompress/untar/gunzip/unzip it on your Linux box.
Don't play with the files, they are not exactly text files...
