EagleFiler cannot find the mailbox "ARCHIVE" on disk

I have a couple of local mailboxes. Importing the emails in those mailboxes to EagleFiler does not work as I am getting "EagleFiler cannot find the mailbox “nameofmailbox” on disk.

I checked my system.log file. There’s obviously something wrong. Maybe you could point me to the problem.

Here’s an excerpt of the system.log

Thanks a lot for your help.

Which versions of macOS and EagleFiler do you have?

Does the Archive mailbox that you selected have a triangle next to it?

Does the problem occur for non-special mailboxes, i.e. ones that don’t have special icons in Mail?

Workaround solved the problem
I am on MacOS 10.12.3 and EagleFiler 1.7.2

I solved the issue by dragging all my emails from my local mailboxes to a mailbox on my webserver. Then I moved them from the webserver mailbox to EagleFiler using the capture key.

I think the issue was that there was a bug EagleFiler 1.7.2 where it sometimes couldn’t find local mailboxes on disk. That was fixed in 1.7.3. I recommend updating to 1.7.4.
