Ahh... thanks. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to copy them up to an IMAP 
server... then again who knows. There's a LOT of folders with a LOT of mail 
in them...  I've somewhat got KMail working again (had to log out and back 
in and I'm on a different window manager, so I don't know if it was the log 
out and back in or the window manager...)
