import from outlook fetches folders, but no messages

Used "import" to attempt to import "all" from outlook.

Contacts apparently worked.

Calendar says there is no active calendar.

But most troubling is that while all of the folder structure seems to have come across (with a weird addition noted below), none of the messages appear. So Inbox/Plan/IMTS-2022 is present, but none of the numerous messages. Same for inbox.

Also "Yammer root" has appeared - which is not part of my outlook mail folder system, anybody know where that came from?

I reinstalled and set up to use mbox rather than maildir, and that seemed to fix this particular problem. So it appears to be a maildir bug.
