The "Import" function finally "worked", but there is another strange
problem. I still kept my old HDD untouched, just in case I need to look for
something. When I pluged my old HDD in (new HDD out), I can see my over 100s
of messages in Inbox. however, if I copied mail folder and "import" Inbox, I
could only import few very old messages that I deleted long long time ago
(I'm sure I did clean Deleted items, so where did they come from??), none of
my 100s messages will be imported. Any idea?
I log in as my own user name (which is always used by both old and new HDD),
with full admin rights.
