It's pretty simple if you are using loc al clients like elm, mailx, etc. If you need POP3 or imap4, you'll need to add these tool to HP-UX first.

Then the migration is:

- add each Linux user to the HP-UX system.
- copy the Linux mailbox for each user to /var/mail/
- setup forwarding using sendmail aliases file in the Linux system.

At some time in the future, you might rename the two servers (HP-UX = Linux-name, Linux = some-other-name) to remove delays in forwarding.
