Your Solaris folders would in the From_-with-Content-Length format. So, you
must add the following settings to your .vm file:

(setq vm-default-folder-type 'From_-with-Content-Length)
(setq vm-trust-From_-with-Content-Length t)

Please read the documentation for these variables and make sure you
understand what they mean. (The User Manual for version 8.0.14 doesn't have
any documentation for them.)

Please test the settings with small test folders and make sure they work
before you start switching everything!

Cheers,
Uday
