But you said it was in .local/... which is not a good place to have the mbox files - that's why I said to unpack them somewhere else. Also, did you copy the mail you wanted out of the newly created 'account' into somewhere more sensible? I would strongly advise you to do this and not leave the temporary account lying around. This is particularly important if you did indeed point the mbox folder at ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local since that is located within Evolution's *private* directories and there is no guarantee as to whether that will survive future upgrades and reorganisations. It's also important to copy the files out of the mbox folders since those folders won't be backed up, so they will be lost if you have to use the Evolution backup/restore procedure.
