copying Mailboxes to new G5

i want to copy the files [Mailboxes] from my Cube Mail to my new G5 but when i look at them in Library/Mail the format is different in the G5 than the Cube?

is there a way i can copy over Mailboxes from my Cube to the G5?

i was hoping i could do it without using the Migration Assistant..

Thanks!

07. Locate and select your Cube's 'Mail's Mailboxes ...
