Thanks. I was hoping for something more scriptable, but
that does work. I have more than a dozen folders and sub-
folders and had to do each one by hand. Will also have
to do the wife's like that. Evolution doesn't allow
moving whole trees.

Also, what daemon will periodically move mail from my
ISP's pop3 server to my local IMAP spool files? At the moment,
my Evolution filters will move mail from the pop server to
IMAP folders, but that dependance on the client, of course,
isn't the point of IMAP.

Would it be fetchmail?
