[X4U] Tiger Mail Stalls While Importing Jaguar Mailboxes

[Heinz-Hermann Adam]

Hi,

I faced the same, when moving from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3. I ended up  
splitting the big folder (in my case the collected copyself messages  
of years) down into several folders, but there were still folders  
that did not get imported completely. Fortunately, I was able to  
merge with the Sent folder to get my archive complete again. I think  
this is truely a bug in the 10.4.3 Mail.app. I refrained to check all  
the other folders I have, but I think there might be mails missing as  
well.

Kindest regards

Heinz-Hermann
