I wonder if it was just taking a while (too long) to process them before showing the list. For what it's worth, I didn't bother with using the import features of Evolution (when I changed OS installations a year or so ago). I found it was sufficient (and less wading through menus and options) to just drop a mail spool file onto the folder I wanted them to go in (create a folder, then drop the mbox file from a file browser onto the folder name in the list of folders) I've just done a quick test now, using 24 meg spool file with some 11,000 messages, it seems to be importing about 3 messages a second. Probably the most painful thing about doing anything on Evolution is trying to abort a lengthy process. You only seem to be able to abort a current little bit of it, it'll just carry on doing the rest. Clicking the offline/online button to go offline was the only way I could abort this little (little!?) test. I had no trouble deleting the folder after that. It vanished in a couple of seconds. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 23 16:47:03 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
