It will be created automatically when MHonArc is run successfully.
It's the main index file of the HTML archive.

Hmm.. It seems as if the script successfully fetches messages from the 
POP account, and appends them to the mbox file, but the 
updatearchive() function fails when it tries to require mhamain.pl.

Can mhamain.pl have been corrupted at installation? "did not return a 
true value" sounds to me as if you should check that the last line of 
mhamain.pl is:

1;

Since you installed MHonArc using the install.me file, you have 
apparently shell access. Maybe Earl has some good idea how to find out 
what causes the error.
