After creating some rule with procmail, the existing mbox can be
processed as follows:
1. cd Mail
# or the directory where mbox or the mail is
2. mv mbox xyz
# this prevents problems, since the rule may send some email to mbox,
# that is, most likely it will
3. cat xyz | formail -s procmail
# See man formail, man procmailrc, man procmail, etc.
Example of recipe:

* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{
:0 c
! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}

Thanks , PS: it would be much better to have these sent to the new address with the senders are the original ones instead of me, but if it's not possible, forward would be fine. = ThanhVu H.

Re: Forward all mail in mbox to new email address
In respond to suggestions about moving the mbox file to another machine: I plan to store these mails from my local machine to a web-based location such as Yahoo. Therefore I cannot do as suggested, I have to email those to myself. Thanks for the tip on the the bounce feature in mutt. It is what I want except if if I tag all the one I want then bounce ends up giving a 'big' message contains all those mails instead of individual one. = ThanhVu H.
