[Bug]: Mbox export files cannot be imported #221
Description
Bug Description
Hi. I have been trying out some email archive solutions. When I export in Mbox format the the import tools do not recognise the resulting file as an Mbox file. I've tried importing to Thunderbird, Roundcube & Evolution, the dialogue boxs are either greyed out or show 'invalid format...' messages. Mbox exports from Gmail & Eonvelope work fine.
The Mbox file format from text editor looks OK so I'm not sure what could wrong.
Thank you, Plxp
Steps to Reproduce
Select a Mail account to export
Choose 'MBox Format' as the format
Start Export
Download Export
Import to Email client of choice
Application Version
