I installed clawsmail in linux.
I copied the existing mail directory into the new mail directory (all
3.2g)
It opens with what looks like full folders.
As soon as I select any folder, it zeros out. It shows no mail.
So, how do I get claws to access the existing mail data?

I will try the tarball, but copying in the data would still have the
same issue wouldn't it?  Is the timestamp what is cause the data to not
be accessed?   

Do I have to mbox each and every folder that contains mail?  It doesn't
look like the file at 750k has the export for 3.2g of mail.


thanks,
