This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. **claws-mail-mailmbox-plugin** is a plugin (loadable module) for the *Claws Mail* mailer. Provides the ability of handling mbox format files (used by some other popular mailers) as if they were native mailer's folders. Just add them and play. ## USAGE Before using a plugin you must instruct *Claws Mail* to load it on startup. For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...” dialog, click on the “Load plugin...” button and select the plugin file, named **mailmbox.so**, and press the “Open” button. Mailboxes can be added in the “File” menu, opening the “Add mailbox” item and selecting the “mbox (etPan!)...” option. ## SEE ALSO [**claws-mail**(1)](/claws-mail/1.md), [**mbox**(5)](/mbox/5.md), [**claws-mail-extra-plugins**(7)](/claws-mail-extra-plugins/7.md). ## AUTHORS - DINH Viêt Hoà \ Wrote the **claws-mail-mailmbox-plugin** plugin. - Ricardo Mones \ Wrote this manpage for the Debian™ system. ## COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2006-2020 Ricardo Mones This manual page was written for the Debian system (but may be used by others).
