I'm sure I can do this, however my mailboxes are rather large.  (I am keeping
all my old emails, for some neurotic reason :)).  I tried just making a link
(ln -s) from my Mail directory to my personal area in the .mozilla directory
and it did not seem to work.  I would tell you the exact command but my Linux
setup is (hopefully) temporarily out of action (hard disk crash).

In any event all the solutions so far are at best just kludges.
