I did a search on google, and came up with this link: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/users/2002-March/003449.html When I do the procedure as outlined: 1) Import a single file with File type, "automatic". Select one *folder* to import. e.g. /home/abe/Mail/inbox (i.e. *highlight* "inbox") 2) Import TO "Local" OR Import to "Local ---> Inbox", and Evolution complains "There is no importer that is able to handle /home/abe/Mail" I note that the information in the aforementioned link is dated 23 Mar 2002, so what am I doing wrong? If I *am* following the procedure correctly, what has changed in Evolution?
