For example, if you create a folder called Inbox/Foo, then you would dump the mbox file into:
~/evolution/local/Inbox/subfolders/Foo/mbox (the mbox file needs to be named mbox)

Is there a way I can script the import of mbox files in Evolution? The outport util did a pretty good job of getting all my old mail out of Outlook, with some fiddling with headers in the few thousand messages needed afterwards. But of course I had all my old mail organised into seperate folders, which I'd like to preserve - far as I know the mbox format can't store folder information (someone point me to a spec if I'm wrong!), so at the moment I'm essentially stuck with 70 or so mbox files representing my old email folder structure. Doing 70 imports via the GUI would be painfully slow! If I can't script it making use of an Evo utility then maybe I can create the necessary disk structure and files that Evo needs directly, but I imagine there's metadata there which I can't easily construct outside of Evo itself... Any ideas? cheers Jules _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
