== Mbox Extension ==
'''This extension is not distributed with Mercurial.'''

''Author: Patrick Mézard''

Repository: https://bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgmbox/

=== Overview ===
This extension let you import patches from a mailbox, storing them in a Mercurial queue (see MqExtension) like the qimport command. It works with standard unix mailboxes as well as Thunderbird ones and can also fetch patches from IMAP servers such as gmail.

=== Configuration ===
Enable the extension by adding following lines to your configuration file (hgrc):

{{{
[extensions]
mbox = /path/to/mbox.py
hgext.mq =
}}}
and optionally reference existing mboxes like:

{{{
[mbox]
mbox.tb.path = /path/to/mbox
mbox.mutt.path = /path/to/other/mbox
imap.g.server = imap.gmail.com
imap.g.username = username
imap.g.password = password
imap.g.mailbox = INBOX
}}}
=== Usage ===
A single interactive ''mimport'' command is added, enumerating detected patches and asking whether to import or skip them. When done, just hit ''d'' and selected items are added to MQ.

Here is a sample session, looking for win32 patches:

{{{
