Here's the solution to the question. The import command takes the POSIX path as it's argument. Unfortunately, if the command fails, no error message is given. The mbox file must be named "mbox" and it must be in a folder that has the extension ".mbox", eg. Burst.mbox/mbox Additionally, line endings must be ASCII character 10, not 13. -- Andy Fragen On Aug 29, 2006, at 8:44 AM, Andy Fragen wrote: > Can anyone provide me with a working example of the "import Mail > mailbox ..."
