[X-Newbies] E-mail from Desktop G4 to iBook G4

[Al Poulin]

Our QuickSilver G4/733 MHz is running Panther, Mail 1.3.11.  This is 
where we take care of our POP mail with the ISP, cox.net.  
Occasionally, I want to transfer all mail folders to my iBook G4/1.33 
GHz  running Tiger, Mail 2.0.2, for a trip.

On the iBook, an I simply remove the folder at:  (home)>Library>Mail 
and then replace it with a copy of the folder from the QuickSilver at:  
  (home)>Library>Mail ?

Would the names of the "homes" need to be identical?

Where the Tiger mail folder has extra items in it, would these be 
automaticaly regenerated when I start up Mail?  These extra items are:
Envelope Index
MessageRules.plist
MessageRules.plist.backup
OpenedAttachments.plist
Signatures (folder)
SmartMailboxes.plist

If the above would not work, should I just use File, Import Mailboxes 
in Tiger Mail?  Then, I think I'd have to slowly rearrange the newly 
arrived folders to replace the old folders.

Thanks,

Al Poulin
