How do you transfer from my emails to my imap server.  I use thunderbird 
as well.  I've got a heap of emails and folders do I just copy the 
directory to the mail directory or is there an option to import from 
squirrelmail which I've just missed.

BTW I have squirrelmail up and running and I use it when I'm away 
however the problem is is that 3/4 of my email is stored on my laptop 
and the rest is on the server.  Is there a way to sync them because I 
like the fact of using thunderbird but I like imap as well.

Also any pointing in the right direction for more reading is more than 
welcome :)

TIA
