Starting with version > 23, Emacs converts Babyl files back into mbox when it first reads them. Glyn I also had a problem trying to use Rmail. I wanted to use Rmail as it is what's shipped with Emacs (Gnus I also failed with). I wanted to use Rmail remotely reading Gmail servers which seems the best way to me when using Linux (Xubuntu) as one has the 6 month releases. Stunnel seemed the problem but now Emacs 24 has it built in I am going to try again. james
