Hi Matt - mbox is not supported, & if I were you I would convert my mbox folders to Maildir. I do not advise doing the following. Searching for elmo mbox we find that Yoichi NAKAYAMA has written the following: http://yoichi.geiin.org/tmp/elmo-mbox.el-20040210 If we load that, we can define: (elmo-define-folder ?! 'mbox) and then define folders in WL as follows: !file.mbox That is an old library, so we need to remove some code which checks for elmo-display-progress-threshold, but it seems to work. No message deletion or modification, it seems. Really, you ought to convert those mboxes! (PS: I keep 2 emacs processes running, one for WL/org-mode & one for work, so that I can keep working when WL takes over. No excuse to use evolution!) best, Erik
