Thank you, That is almost what I want. I now tried once more and the confusing part is that I had to provide an email address to get tot he step where I could choose mbox folder. (Believe email address should not be needed for creating folders? - but it is a requirement on the first page of account creation)
There is one large drawback here. I'm unable to create nested folders and when moving folders from my email account to the mbox folder it only moves the content of the root folder excluding any child folders. Reason for moving this mail is that my quota on even a purchased version of google is on the limit and with about 100GB of email which i very seldom need - but sometimes - it is good to have at hand without large processes of importing etc. -- Best Regards Tor Harald Thorland Mobil: 93032572 -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Ángel <[email protected]> Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [Evolution] Storing messages Dato: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 02:07:18 +0100 On 2021-03-17 at 22:23 +0100, Tor Harald Thorland wrote: > It also seems like the export mbox is saving a folder or bunch of > mails, not visually like an own mail account which you will get when > opening / closing a pst. In evolution exporting a number of mails to a mbox file does exactly that: generate a file with those mails. If you want to view them as if it was an account, you need to configure that separatedly: File → New → Mail account, and in Receiving Email choose either "Standard Unix mbox spool file" or -probably more useful- "Standard Unix mbox spool directory". This way you can create a new account which loads a mbox you previously exported. Or, rather than going through that separate step, you could add the account first and then move the mails there.
