hi Chris, Hopefully someone more informed will chime in, but I think the kernighan mailbox is just supposed to be a throwaway one. I'd been using it, but only by forwarding a copy of messages from Pilot. Since I could never figure out IMAP use with it, I just used the web interface on kernighan to avoid TWIG. (for the first few months of the beta test, I did use POP - that was fine) Anyway, last night I converted my Pilot mailbox over. Took about 11 minutes for 40 folders and 5600 messages (about 60MB). Seemed to work fine. I can still get into Pilot, but there is an email message there reminding me not to use it. And I can still get into Kernighan, but no new mail is being delivered there for me, since I turned off forwarding. I've been stuck using the web interface today (resisting POP, and still can't figure out IMAP). The new web mail interface seems fine to me. (If anybody could throw me a hint on IMAP use with the new system, I would sure appreciate it!) -jav Chris Wolf writes: > Related to this--I don't understand what is supposed to happen to the > accounts for those of us who set up test accounts on kernighan.
