Rodolfo,

That is indeed the case. I was expecting it to use the current (home) directory but I suppose (?) this mailbox name is treated as a special case for this as well as other instances I knew about. Inserting a "~/" in front of INBOX achieved the result I was expecting.

thanks,
David

Rodolfo

I have uw-imap 2006g compiled from scratch on Solaris 9 using gcc. Nothing has been modified. I issued this command to convert my inbox (the mbox file in my home directory) to mix:

bash-2.05$ mailutil copy mbox "#driver.mix/INBOX"
Can't create mailbox INBOX: mailbox already exists

If I pick another folder name then it works perfectly. A simple create gives the same error:

bash-2.05$ mailutil create "#driver.mix/INBOX"
Can't create mailbox INBOX: mailbox already exists

There is no INBOX directory anywhere in my home directory or mail subdir. I checked the version of mailutil and it is as I expect mailutil version 2006g.7

Any ideas?
thanks,
David
