mh handles deals with mail a bit differently that either mutt or netscape. An mh folder is a directory containg a numbered file for each message, both mutt and netscape just use one big file with all the messages concatenated together. to convert fomr a a mh style folder to one readable by netscape you must use the pack(1) command, and to convert from a mutt folder to an mh one you must use inc(1): 18:57 sionnach:~/Mail> inc +newfolder -file mailfolder Create folder "/home/albertw/Mail/newfolder"? y Incorporating new mail into newfolder... 1+ 07/09 Postmaster Message from mail server<<Delete.

You could allways try using exmh for all your mail which is a nice graphical interface to mh basically, never tried it on debian, but I use it all the time in work. hope thats of help, Al
