When I run the enclosed perl script, with the atttached Offline.dbx, I
get an exception:
dbx2mbox.pl dbxExamples/Offline.dbx dbxTest/Offline.mbox
opening existing dbxfile dbxExamples/Offline.dbx
ERROR: Cannot read dbx folder file dbxExamples/Offline.dbx.
Uncaught exception from user code:
cannot read dbxfile dbxExamples/Offline.dbx using
Mail::Box:Dbx->new: at ./dbx2mbox.pl line 24.
at ./dbx2mbox.pl line 24
make: *** [dbx] Error 255
I am not exactly sure where I got Offline.dbx, so it could be bogus. I
think it likely I got it from setting up a simply microsoft mail program
and creating a few emails.
