Subject: rmail invalid mbox file
Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 18:31:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALugi+XDHaDoJt5hAV2RK3fJYNiu2AgYQXZ9Z98WS+dQ0UHidQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
i am using rmail in emacs 27.2 on openbsd 6.9 on raspberrypi 4B 8gb
aarch64. i use fetchmail and procmail to deliver my gmail to
/home/jim/RMAIL. all rmail settings are at standard defaults. when i
try to open rmail to process my gmail it says the following:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid mbox file")
signal(error ("Invalid mbox file"))
error("Invalid mbox file")
rmail-convert-file-maybe()
rmail()
funcall-interactively(rmail)
call-interactively(rmail)
menu-bar-read-mail()
funcall-interactively(menu-bar-read-mail)
call-interactively(menu-bar-read-mail nil nil)
command-execute(menu-bar-read-mail)
i am using the standard RMAIL file formed by receiving mail through
fetchmail + procmail. can anyone tell me how to form a valid mbox file
so i can use rmail to process and read my gmail?
