[X4U] Mail Import Question

[Milton van der Veen]

Bob,

Thanks for the idea ... I have a similar situation and your solution  
looks like a good one. It seems that no one replied to your query so  
I'll take a stab at it.

Could it be a permissions problem? You might want to check the file  
and see if you have read/write privileges. Otherwise, I wonder if the  
file needs to be inside the Mail folder or at least a folder to which  
you have permission. Just a thought.
