Mutt *can* do it, but depending on the type of mbox folder, perhaps *shouldn't*. Mutt makes certain assumptions about your mbox folder's format that may not be correct, and can result in permanent (subtle) corruption of the messages (if mutt is wrong). The *best* way to convert from one format to another is to use a program designed for exactly the variant of mbox you have been using. See http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html for details on the various formats of mbox. ~Kyle - -- Everybody has to die... but I always believed an exception would be made in my case. -- William Saroyan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJMjj6fAAoJECuveozR/AWe7NIP/Ah/8s6FREDWpItI+pz3ZJtt /mT/PibVMhFd93R96W44Pj5XaDckUYCWCI8/wfFoBb3bRzb6duAvOz1fzr7k0Smp 0KQ4MNQt8CzVD+6g4kYqMLPsqpFYaFqgXeQZrQQ5fSZ8zGQiK4ud+bgjCcp3AZeb IiuTloRy6LaUFiP5eG2RXlsYk0lQ4mdTrbrOiLZ8maOHtl2lvA4iAHqFtw4HJd23 rK06zhs1H5AnPdeRWQx9yoGae1UFPq1VubIiOJbwvqlJaYU4A3PQ9+nj082xKm6t fjxTsSz6B/EtSFChwq6HR2gWAxKNEHqnKLs6V30/s3gtyaAya2nKD/mo6rcB3UhY BRMUCqdEwhyZQn5asCTBLPFvKPffGe4IQWKr5Qvct7ZgKnBO405vjHcNmWdyBu6a +jTBzLmterMPghPTP8UdVntxprVT01A9HE9WAOd+Az2YVynzbEc8HmLQJBCcqWiW ITsUgWRy82tFZ4Sp6rPqpGxH37K2scjxyxPgHbCdUahDCqArSWZ4Jxi/W5Y+KjAp UnTXu4fsQbaUT5CYi/tuQU/Rte23QSH3udAVSWLCO8v6OCQ+OmkZRLcdRIgUleyl 6vPXLpF5yMYSYQkf00qqN04ko3nKyBFeMYxRw53hvBGmnn8QlpQFf6sFQF1OXnyM yCGZkaTjqemEFjnfqWV6 =6LDt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
