[MlMt] Selectively Restore Account?

[Mark Chapman]

Thanks I will do that.

It looks like I have to import messages one mailbox at a time (because I 
have to choose which mailbox on import). I have a lot of mailboxes on 
this account.

Is there any way to import them all at once?

RE: my IMAP provider
I have used them for decades without problem but this kind of failure is 
a deal killer.

Much Thanks,

Mark
