Gladys,

If you have mail in local mailboxes on two computers that you want to 
consolidate onto a single machine, you could copy the ~/Library/Mail 
folder from one machine to the other (not overwriting the second 
computer's ~/Library/Mail folder!) and then copy the messages from that 
copied Mail folder to the machine where you wish to have all of your 
email.  To do this, you would traverse the newly copied Mail folder for 
mailbox-iconned entries (such as "Personal Mail.mbox"); these will be 
found in the copied Mail's "Mailboxes" folder.  Open those on the 
machine where you wish to have all of your email (double-click on 
them), and copy messages individually to the local Mailboxes folder 
where you wish to have the email.

Because this will result in an extra mail viewer for every mailbox you 
double-click, I recommend doing them one at a time.
