I went ahead and changed my setting of 'base' in the .mairixrc to be as follows: base=/ Then I updated 'mbox' to include the paths to the two directories. That seemed to do the trick. Only one nit that I've noticed so far: Even though I took care not to include a leading '/' character in my 'mbox' definition, the X-source-folder header line shows two '/' characters at the head of the path: X-source-folder: //var/spool/mail/me Thanks for the assistance.
