For instance, I've done several migrations from mbox to maildir for customers, and each one is different. There's no single 'do it all' and there can't be. So I see this as something that would NOT be useful. Perhaps a script that will convert a single mbox file to a maildir, which there are many of, and I suggest using Bruce Guenter's: mbox2maildir as it takes its arguments from the command line, which makes it great for using in a wrapper script. just my two cents though. -Jeremy > > On Tue, 2004-02-10 at 10:29, Scott Balneaves wrote: > > Joseph wrote: > > > Nosy question :) > > > > > > How did you convert the mbox to maildir and get all the mbox folders, > > > or what is a good way to do this? > > > > I took me about 4 hours to go through all the users mailboxes and rename > > them to something reasonable (i.e.: change a mailbox name from > > "Something that has - spaces 'quotes' and -- dashes" > > IntoSomethingWhichWontChokeAScript), and then about 45 minutes for the > > script itself to run. > > > > I'd written some shell scripts to update the prefs.js file for Mozilla > > to change the users mail settings to point to the new mail server, so > > that took a bit as well. > > > > Scott -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
