Well I was able to get somewhere with this. I was out of town for the=20 past few days and had a faster internet connection. Using the webmail=20 interface, I moved all mail in an email account to a temporary folder,=20 then moved 500 messages at a time back to the inbox and POP3'ed it over=20 to Thunderbird. Took time, but it got done for accounts with 7000,=20 26000 and 11000 messages. I'm back to my average-speed account, but=20 only have one more account with ~4700 messages, so hopefully it'll be okay. Thanks for the help guys. Cheers, -Neil.
