How to import an .imapmbox into Mail.app
Authored by: Murphy on May 05, '05 11:22:45AM

What exactly is the point of importing an imapmbox? Mail is usually stored on the server when using IMAP, so why not just recreate the IMAP-account?
Sorry if I overlooked something, but this hint doesn't make sense to me.

How to import an .imapmbox into Mail.app

The point of this is to provide a way for those of us who mistakenly assumed that a readbale archive of an imap mailbox had been made by dragging it out onto the desktop. It wasn't readable - it doesn't behave the same as ordinary mailboxes. This way provides a path to retrieve those .imapmbox email archives.
