Are you using gkrellm 2.2.10 yet?  I'm just snapping to the chance that
this might be a problem with a malformed mime content package in
your mbox.  I got a patch that's in 2.2.10 for this problem.  It seems there
are some mail programs that don't properly close their mbox multi-parts
and gkrellm < 2.2.10 will scan to the end of the mbox looking for the close
and thus miss emails.

Look in your ~/mail/mbox file for something like this:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="XYZ"
...
--XYZ
...
--XYZ--

Where "XYZ" (the separator) can be just about anything and will
be longer, but it should match.  If you don't have a closing  --XYZ--
that matches a boundary= specification, then gkrellm isn't finding
the close.

I hope this is your problem and not a new bug, but let me know.
If it is the problem, upgrading to 2.2.10 should fix it.

Bill
