Re: all inbox files changed to "unread" mode

Getting ready to import messages into my new identity, it says "import from
main identity" and I balked because I have this vision of everything in my
inbox/sent/and other folders in my main identity transferring over to the
new identity--which I don't necessarily want to use--and somehow something
getting lost in the process. Can't I just specify to inport just one folder
from my main identity to test things out first?

thank you Steve,

rock
