Importing old Mail

[Daniel Schregenberger <npfdd gmx net>]

Hello!

I'd like to try balsa (2.0.15) but I could'nt import my old mails.
They're in mbox format, but I could provide them in different formats
(like MH) too.
I searched the archives without finding a hint and the link in the FAQ
is dead.

Here's what I get when I try to import the mail using "File > New >
Local mbox mailbox...":
- an error window: "Unable to Open Mailbox! Please check the mailbox
settings."
- and an information window: "/home/npfdd/oldmail/Band is not a
mailbox."

Any help appreciated.
