unfortunately i wasn't forward thinking enough regarding my migration.
:)  i (and my family) do not have local copies of our mail and were
not using Thunderbird previously.  most of the family was using the
web based SquirrelMail client.  my previous provider does have an IMAP
server still, but i'm not sure i can do anything with it.  my
providers DNS entries are now pointing to Google since they are
effectively hosting everything for our domain now.
i just 'assumed' ;) that i could still take the mail files/dir and
import them into some third party reader...
