Yes! :-) (though I did try the import with the server running after the persistent hanging without.. just in case the documentation wasn't correct!).
As nothing appeared to be working, I purged the heliotrope mailstore and performed 2 actions: 1) the initial server startup to initialize the mailstore and associated files, and 2) an import of a small maildir (after stopping the server). I presume the logs you are referring to is the LOG file in the <mailstore>/store dir. LOG from step 1) (or LOG.old after completing both steps) 2012/09/25-16:42:13.770269 7ff2345bc700 Delete type=3 #1 LOG from attempted import, step 2) 2012/09/25-16:43:12.450537 7f0c45ff8700 Recovering log #3 2012/09/25-16:43:12.450585 7f0c45ff8700 Level-0 table #5: started 2012/09/25-16:43:12.458919 7f0c45ff8700 Level-0 table #5: 344 bytes OK 2012/09/25-16:43:12.460026 7f0c45ff8700 Delete type=0 #3 2012/09/25-16:43:12.460050 7f0c45ff8700 Delete type=3 #2 Oh, the second thing you should know is that I run on debian (test / wheezy) and have been using rvm 1.9.3. I know that the debian environment doesn'd always make it easy for ruby installs at times. In addition to the gems requirements listed in the README, I had to install the mail and thin gems to get heliotrope to run.
