I tried this. Still gives me the error of:
/home/jhelfman/Mail/backup-inbox is not a mailbox.
I will include my .muttrc
| I know it's annoying to have people saying "Try this, try that", but
| I went back and read the original thread and this one and the only
| meaningful difference between my mutt -v and yours (besides base OS) is
| that you have the compression patch compiled in.
|
| If it's not too much of a pain, could you recompile 1.2.5 /without/ that
| patch and see if switching between a plain (uncompressed) mbox and a
| maildir works? I use maildirs for my inbox and each mailing list I'm on,
| but use mbox for sent mail, postponed mail and spam I intend to deal
| with at a later time - I have no trouble switching between them. This
| would at least establish a baseline "works or doesn't work".
|
| Also, a final shot-in-the-dark: When you dropped back from 1.3.x to
| 1.2.5, did you change patches? I seem to recall different compression
| patches based on version and I wonder if the 1.3.x patch would apply
| successfully but screw something up? (I haven't checked the code...
| that's next!)
