            Bug ID: 4225
           Summary: Local mbox file based account doesn't work
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail (Windows)
           Version: 3.17.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: default
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: skarp at mysk.org

Windows 10 64-bit, but using 32-bit Claws Mail.

I have several Linux boxes that dump the output of cron jobs into a single,
shared mbox file.

If I create a Local mbox file account, Claws on Linux happily reads the file,
filters the messages, and deletes them from the mbox file.

However, Claws on Windows, with the exact same settings and the same file does
not import the messages.  Clicking Get Mail runs without errors, but no
messages appear in the client and the mbox file remains intact.

I've tried manually importing the file via File | Import mbox file and that
works fine, so it doesn't seem to be a general problem with mbox files.  But
using that as a workaround and manually applying filters sort of spoils the
utility of the feature.
