Hello Everyone,

I am trying to import mailbox archives into a drupal forum with little success. There appears to be a problem with mailhandler using imap_open to import an mbox with a local path. This happens on both Windows and Linux and is discussed at some length on the forum. The solution involves recompiling several C packages and I'd rather not go down that road if I can avoid it. Has anybody please got a solution to this problem? I'm at this three days and thinking of moving on to PHPBB.

Here is the error:

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream test_tcd.mbox in /var/www/ngl drupal/modules/mailhandler/mailhandler.module on line 198.

Mailhandler could not access local folder: test@test.com

Thanks,

John

Put the mbox into the root of www and then specify it without any slashes etc:

/var/www/test.mbox

Folder in mailhandler set up:

test.mbox

Hope this helps someone.
