Well it never seemed to finish when importing either the 20000 mails
in one box or the combined 120000 in another one.
Nothing seemed to be happening so in the end the bat stopped working.
Couldnt filter either, same thing so there I was with 1 huge inbox...
Removing duplicates didnt work either but then there werent any
anyway.
Next day I tried filtering again and it just worked.
I didnt try to correct mail as last time I did that I lost like 10000
mails.
At present things seem to be back to normal except I donot really see
or didnt where the duplicates where removed or where the filtering
took place.

Still have to add some more mail but sofar it looks like I have mail
but that 3000 or so stayed unfiltered no doubt as filters on both
systems arent the same.

I have a feeling that if import is a LARGE file it may require a lot
of ram and that maybe data has been imported but Bat doesnt tell you
until it has done some cleaning up work.
