Hello, all the unix and vms experts out there,

I have a vms-unix mail question which needs your help. I would like
to transfer all the files under the [.mail] directory on a VAX
machine, which includes all *.mai files, to a unix machine. And is
it possible to access these mail messages from unix with all the
folder information preserved?  I was told that someone has done
that successfully. I understand that some conversion or programming
could be involved, and will appreciate any hint.

Thank you very much. Also could you common copy my account when you
reply if possible, thanks again.

Jia
