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"). :( ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
