I have just managed to work round all the problems to get my RMAIL
file in mbox format. But now I cannot read new mail
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list
'("/var/spool/mail/jpff" "/home/jpff/mbox" "/mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox"))
cardew:/tmp> ls -l "/var/spool/mail/jpff" "/home/jpff/mbox" "/mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox"
ls: cannot access /home/jpff/mbox: No such file or directory
-rw------- 1 jpff mail 1645024 2009-02-02 15:39 /mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox
-rw------- 1 jpff users 0 2009-02-02 15:46 /var/spool/mail/jpff
And it says
(No new mail has arrived)
0 new messages read
But there are 219 messages in /mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox which is my
main mailbox
The same happens with -q at startup

There's a loop missing from rmail-get-new-mail. If you have two or
more inboxes with the same basename, rmail will silently stop
processing your inbox list when it encounters the first name clash.
Whee.
A temporary workaround is to rename your inboxes to have distinct
basenames (eg "/home/jpff/mbox2", "/mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox").
:(
