Yes, that exports everything that is visible, in that view.  Make sure you
have show all accounts/forever/read, etc.  Export the Received and Sent
seperately.

I don't think 9.25 had the option of importing sent messages, into the
sent filter, so I expect you'd have to use a newer version.  If you do
want to stick with 9.25, just copying the entire mail directory, and
all of it's subdirectories should work.  Just check Help/About Opera to
find the Mail directory path on both computers, to ensure you're copying
from/to the right locations.
