Well as I've mentioned... on looses the info in the From_ lines (that is the RCPT TO address and the date of arrival) because Evolution does not correctly migrated them (actually I'm not sure whether IMAP would allow that).

Sorry... too late for that... cause back in the "old" days when I went away from TB I didn't notice that the used other mail headers for their statuses... so now everthing is already mixed together. > If they bug you remove them with sed or awk or perl or python or ... Yeah... but sed alone is not enough... cause such lines may also appear in the body... and I mustn't remove them... So in principle I'm looking for a smart parser of mbox which already gives me headers and body and I can modify either. Cheers, Chris.
