Re: [Pan-users] How to Upgrade your Folders for 0.12.90

[Himanshu J. Gohel]

I'm just upgrading from 0.11.x to 0.13.3 and I noticed that all my folders
were gone.  I found this old message in my email, and tried to use this
procedure, but pan is still not showing any messages in my folders:

For example, ~/.pan/data/folders/java.mbox

I ran mbox2maildir on one or two of them and placed them in

 ~/.pan/data/messages/folders/java/*.mbox

When I run Pan, I see the Java folder, but no messages.  There is a
warning from Pan (pan:2669) WARNING *** Error reading file
<.../java/10432483.2667.mbox.msg": Failed top open file... no such file or
directory.

which is true...there's no file with the .msg extension.  Any hints?
Thanks.
