This has been already discussed, but not solved.

We *need* a way to import mail messages in such a way that they will appear
in the "Sent" pseudo-folder of the chosen account, with no need of
additional filters. As far as I can tell, this is currently not possible,
and it's a very annoying lack of feature.

It is possible, but only for one particular mail program. Eudora. (Don't
ask me, I just record all this stuff to help other users.) Some people
have found a copy of Eudora, imported their mail from the current mail
client to that, and then imported their Eudora mail to Opera as a
workaround.

Really? That's weird... What version of Opera?

I'm using Opera 7.54 on linux now and the "Import from Eudora" option is
grayed-out, and anyway, import is broken in this version, it leads to a
shameful crash.

As far as I can recall, the same happens in the Opera 8 beta (the
graying-out, not the crash). Assuming I can somehow import Eudora mails
from Opera, should these mail come from some specific folder in Eudora? or
can I choose which mails go where anyway?

Nevertheless, I hope this feature is added to O8 (or whatever) final.

AFAIK Eudora is sold for Windows and Mac and might not run under
Linux.

To Import from Eudora go to Tools - Preferences - E-mail and click on
"Manage Accounts". Next select "New" and the "New account wizard"
gives a variety of choices including that of "Import Email". Highlight
"Import Email" then click next and all the accounts in Eudora are
displayed.

As many of the accounts as you wish can be imported and Opera will set
them up exactly as they were setup in Eudora.

Eudora can be downloaded from http://www.eudora.com/ for free.
After installation Eudora offers 3 choices of Modes in which Eudora
can be run and only Paid mode requires payment and a Registration key
needs to be entered.

Oops, I should have said first go to Tools - Preferences - Programs
and paths and tick the box "Enable mail and chat" otherwise all the
email options are grayed out.

It should work for all supported e-mail clients, but not mbox at this
time.

I have tried with Netscape 6/7 and I don't see the option.

Can anyone suggest a workflow to import mails as "Sent" from a mbx/mbs file
to Opera (preferably under linux)?

In windows, I have couldn't get Eudora (last version) to import mails, nor
Outlook Express. I downloaded the last Netscape and managed to import
mails, moved them to "Sent" folder and tried to import them from Opera...
they appeared as "Received". Trying to import the Netscape mails in other
programs was also unsuccessful.
