Hi,

One thing you can do, assuming you want to move the box in its entirety, is
copy ~/Mail, .e.g. from the source to destination:

,----[ Command ]
| scp -r ~/Mail you@another_computer:/home/you/
`----

To move smaller fragments, take all the files therein and graft them onto the
right place in the corresponding directory hierarchy. Mind whether it's
mbox-formatted or maildir-formatted (many separate files).

Best wishes,

Roy
