Tiger imported my imap account when I upgraded
Authored by: mnb on May 05, '05 02:37:56PM

Tiger imported my imap account and mail with no problem, during the migration assistant copying your data from another mac/partition. When I launched mail, it imported and converted the data to the new format. I did have to change some imap acct settings, save, and change them back to get the signature prefs to become imap aware, but that's another story.

Of course, if it hadn't, I could just have set up the account and resync'd (which would take quite a while).

It still has issues with displaying new mail in non-inbox folders for imap accounts and it doesn't seem to check for mail on the regular cycle, but I cron'd a 5 min synch script a while back based on a hint I found here (I love this site!) and that takes care of the problem.
