This works but..Imagine what a job! That sounds rather like Maildir or MH. If you try treating that directory as MH, or put the files into a Maildir-style directory tree, you may well find that e-mail clients which understand those formats can copy (or export) e-mails into an mbox file. One simple description of the structure of a Maildir directory tree is at http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#head-c8b703b9a997cb1256889a156ece027cdecfc2cf but you basically mkdir ~/Maildir/ ~/Maildir/tmp ~/Maildir/new ~/Maildir/cur and put all the files under cur. Or you might even want to keep the files in Maildir and publish them over IMAP via Dovecot. That's what I do. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | "I would like to apologise to the relatives of the fan aprilcottage.co.uk | who gave me 29 books to sign in Odyssey 7, Manchester. | I'm a little twitchy towards the end of a day of signing | and did not mean to kill and eat him." -- Terry Pratchett
