darn - having seen all the other files that Evo creates in each mail folder directory I never ever thought that'd work so I didn't even bother to try it! (the fact that this does work for mbox files would therefore be a useful addition to the "Importing Your Old Email and Settings" section in the online documentation IMHO! It's a lot quicker from the user's point of view than importing via the GUI) I've just tried it on a single smallish mbox file and it seems happy with that; I guess it's sensible enough to notice that the zero-byte mbox file it creates in a new folder itself has been replaced and updates all the other associated files accordingly... cheers!
