hi anyone,

is there a kind person who can direct me (i'm not too literate in
unix commands) in my quest, which is to move my current pine folders from
one account to another, intact?

thanks for your input.

Depends on what OS is running on the other account. Basically,
something like:

	tar -czf ~/mail.old.tgz ~/mail (or Mail)
	mcopy ~/mail.old a:

should do the trick, along with a 
	
	tar -xzf mail.old.tgz

on the other account.

HTH,
Robin
