Actually, I tried the mbox-hook, cause I wanted to
compress the read messages in certain folders to one with
the same name except have the .gz extension.
Well, my messages didn't show up in my ~/Mail folder.
As it was a compressed file it was easy to find.
Basically it defaulted to saving it in my /home directory.
The way that I fixed it was to do this:
mbox-hook mbox ~/Mail/mbox-read.gz
It then saved it in my Mail file without any problem.
Your messages are most likely in your home directory in the
file python-list-save. 8o)
