To be honest, I have no idea how to create an RDB Hardfile using dd; the
hardfiles I have now were created a long time ago using WinUAE's
interface. Maybe the procedure is the same, but just specifying the
geometry in the uaerc makes all the difference. However, you tried that
without success, so I dunno.

AFAICT the only 100% fool-proof way of transferring mail messages, from
any client on any platform, to any other client on any other platform,
is to copy the whole message file/folder to an IMAP server, configure
the new client to access that server, then copy all the messages in one
go to the local folders. You can set up your own IMAP on a Linux box
quite easily. WorksForMe®.
