I managed to migrate old mail from MS Outlook to gnus,
but gnus does not show the 'from' and the `subject' field in the summer buffer:
in their place, there is `nobody' and `none'. But within each message the
headers are visible: in fact in my .gnus.el I put the line:
(setq gnus-show-all-headers t)
. That's what I did:
* within Outlook, in a certain folder I did:
edit > select all
file > save as...
, and saved the whole folder in the file `/path/to/newbie.txt';
* within gnus I did:
`G f /path/to/newbie.txt'
, so creating an nndoc group; then, within that group,
`M P b'
and
`B r nnml'
. This way the old messages were imported to normal Gnus mail group hierarchy,
but in the Summary buffer, unlike all other messages, the imported ones do not show the `from' and `subject'. If this problem remains, migrating old mail
into gnus can not be considered happily solved.
Is it possible to recover this, and how?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi.
I want to migrate my mail from Microsoft Outlook 2000 to emacs Gnus.
In gnus FAQ it is suggested to tell my old mail program to export the messages
in mbox format (finding tools for that at http://mbx2mbox.sourgeforce.net)
and then to import this mbox file into Gnus.
>From the above site I downloaded the file mbx2mbox-0.34.tar.gz and installed the
package,
but didn't manage to convert mbx into mbox format. Here are the steps I did:
1) Within MS Outlook, I did:
File > import and export > export into a file > dBase
, then selected a folder and saved it with the name myfile.mbx.
2) I downloaded mbx2mbox-0.34.tar.gz from
http://mbx2mbox.sourceforge.net
and copied into my ~/tmp dir. Then I did:
# urpmi Manip
$ cd ~/tmp
$ tar xzvf mbx2mbox-0.34.tar.gz
$ cd mbx2mbox-0.34
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
# make install
, and mbx2mbox seemed to install successfully.
3) I did:
$ mbx2mbox myfile.mbx
, but the file 'myfile' which was produced is empty.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Rodolfo
