Loads of my emails now say this:

The message from Tim Allen <etc etc> concerning �Re: Monitor� has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.

Any idea how to fix this? They were all there fine in Panther, now I can't read them. Everything in my Send items folder is like this. The emails in my In box were all screwed too - when I did 'Rebuild Mailbox' it just deleted them completely!

Help!!

Did you have any third-party plug-ins installed for Mail under Panther? When I upgraded Mail had all my mailboxes but they were all empty - turned out to be an issue with the httpmail plug-in. When I removed the plug-in and reopened Mail it imported the mailboxes properly.

If you don't have any plug-ins, try importing the mailboxes left over from Panther. Make sure you back them up by copying them to another folder before messing around with it.
