Just tried that yesterday: I had some thousands old mails lying on my
Amiga hd, all using some kind of mbox/mh format (I *love* these standard
formats !). Well, sometimes Evo choked on some mail (segfault or just
stop in the middle of import), but overall it worked very well. I just
missed a progress bar, importing a big block of mails can take long
minutes.
(BTW, you can drop the mails on the list pane too)
