Mozilla mail uses mbox format, I believe. And so does Evolution. So you can just move them around manually. I don't remember how evolution structurized it's subdirectory, but look around at the evolution folders and you should be able to figure it out. The mbox format is just a plain text. So for example if you have a mail folder called "friends" in Mozilla, there should be a file, very likely has a name with something like *friends* that contains all your mail in that mail forder friends in plain text. Just move or copy that file to the evolution directory. I moved around between Kmail, Evolution, Mozilla couple times when deciding what e-mail client that I like, and could do that without much trouble since all use mbox format. But as always, back up your files just for precaution. Hope that helps. Reuben D.
