You have to copy all files (hidden files too) and set the permissions 
correctly. Go to the Mail folder and enter:
chown -R username:usergroup *
chown -R username:usergroup .*
username is the name of the user and usergroup is the group (=B4users=B4 
by default).

I have done this two weeks ago, it works. :-)

Regards, Uwe.
