Me neither (now it worked BTW; strange).

I found something interesting in Mbox.pm:
if(-d $filename) # fake empty folder, with sub-folders
{ return 1 unless -f File::Spec->catfile($filename, '1') # MH
|| -d File::Spec->catdir($filename, 'cur'); # Maildir
}
So here's an explicit test for a file named "1".
I have no idea if having a "1" file is required by MH folder -- and I
don't find anything helpful at the moment.
At least man Mail::Box::MH assumes:
So, each message is written in a separate file. The filenames are
numbers, which count
from 1. Next to these message files, a directory may contain a file
named ".mh_sequences",
storing labels which relate to the messages. Furthermore, a
folder-directory may contain
sub-directories, which are seen as sub-folders.
Hm, has someone else from the Debian Perl Group more ideas about MH
folders?
Cheers,
gregor
