Found the problem, mix is not supported under Cygwin, it works fine
under Solaris.

I made a test changing the Makefile for cyg, mailutil compiles fine but
when I run it :

$ mailutil copy -v DenyHosts "#driver.mix/DenyHosts.new"
/home/rberber/mail/DenyHosts [70 message(s)] =>
#driver.mix/DenyHosts.new
[Failed]

even when the result seems fine:

$ ll DenyHosts.new/
total 417K
drwx------+ 2 rberber None 0 Sep 16 01:30 ./
drwxrw-rw-+ 3 rberber None 0 Sep 16 01:30 ../
-rw------- 1 rberber None 416K Sep 16 01:30 .mix450b9a17
-rw------- 1 rberber None 0 Sep 16 01:30 .mixindex
-rw------- 1 rberber None 54 Sep 16 01:30 .mixmeta
-rw------- 1 rberber None 0 Sep 16 01:30 .mixstatus

the original mailbox is about the same size:

-rw------- 1 rberber None 414K Aug 9 13:22 DenyHosts

Anyway, I'll take it is not supported.

One last question: when I convert a mbox file should I create an INBOX
directory?
