One problem I noticed was that lines in the messages starting with the word From caused corrupted mails. The messages were split into two at the point of the line starting with From. I hade some folders in mbox-format, and with those I had no problems importing them into evolution. So perhaps one should make a 'grep "^From " mbox | grep -v 200' to find the body lines beginning with From and change them into something. Looking at the mbox-file that succeded one should change all lines beginning with >From into a line beginning with ">From" (Note that there is a valid line starting with From in each message. It looks something like this "From aa@xxxxxxxx Fri Sep 5 17:53:57 2003", do not change that row, only rows starting with From in the text body.) Not sure what the mbox standard says, but this seem to work. Looking at how Kmail in Fedora Core 1 acts, I'd say that it works the same there. By the way, this is not a bug, just how things are. One would need a real export function or something in Kmal. /Lars
