My experience is that using xterm with tcsh I can ssh into the Mac and pretty much do anything I need to do with my userid on the Mac. On the Mac the file system names are case sensitive with liberal use of blanks. In my experience I have seen no difference between Mac tar and FreeBSD. The mail thing sorta sounded like that was in mbox format, I did not see if that was mentioned. imapsync will move email in any format from machine to machine. Large volumes across the internet will take a while.
