Thanks for all the responses -

no, we are using pop3d on the qmail server and the new server has cppop
(cPanel Mail Server)

It's shared hosting, i dont think we can have Maildir for some mbox for the
rest.

Looks like plain text, the passwords are hashed, should be able to import
onto the new server - just dont know where exim stores its passwords

So to round it all up
a> I n eed to figure where exim stores its user/passwords for mail users

servers file
c> import mailfolder to mbox which looks like its just a append from

multiple files into 1

Like i said, im a newbie and there are errors, which is why im asking for
advice!

thanks
