Not a problem.  If all you are wishing to do is track your read messages,
simply enable the newsrc option and move that file between them.  If you
want your entire config minus cache, copy the ~/.pan/data but not the
~/.pan/data/messages/cache, which is the big one if you keep a large
cache as I do.  Otherwise, just copy the entire .pan dir over.  At least I
/believe/ the darwin port uses the same file conventions.
