The mail is no longer a problem, as I created an IMAP server on my big ma=
chine=20
(RedHat Linux 7.3) and was able to copy all the folders from the Mail.app=
=20
program to the IMAP account. Under YDL, using KMail, I was then able to g=
et=20
back to the IMAP account and filter everything where I wanted it to. So f=
ar,=20
so good.

The same is not possible for the Address.app though, would be cool if I c=
ould=20
move it to an LDAP server and import them back into <whereever I want>. B=
ut=20
then, we don't live in a perfect world.

Thanks for all the help, everybody.
Chris.
