I'm in the process of switching over. One of my complaints (in addition 
to performance) is that it looks like the accounts are ordered according 
to the order they are created. Has anyone figured out a way to re-order 
the accounts? I've got a hunch I could do it by editing the prefs.js 
file, but that looks like a bad idea and wouldn't be trivial. It seems 
there has to be a better way, but I can't find it.

I've got all of my messages converted, but I still need to work on the 
address book. The Python script you (Tim) posted crashes for some reason 
after only a handful or so of  entries.
