kk I got it working but not really correct. I did: rsync -
r /home/rado/.evolution/mail/local/* and then switched servers...yes the
mail from A was now on B but that is just my own personal rado at rivers-
bend.com email. Although, yes, this is just a sort of home, challenge
project I am working on. BUT, at the same time I would like to entertain
the fact that I would like to have a few remote user accts to have
around as well, what would happen to them?? See?

I think that the mail switch has to be done at lower level than the
reader. Has to be done in sendmail itself...trick it or switch it to not
pay any attn. to ESMPT ID stuff.  It must be there huh?

lol fun ain't it? hahahaha

thx
