There are scripts for changing the format of "mailbox" from mailbox to maildir. E.g. check the page "Converting Mbox mailboxes to Maildir format" at http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ , find for mbox2maildir and maildir2mbox scripts at google etc. You can also convert mailbox (in both directions) with mutt itself! You can create (even manually) some maildir-type folder, e.g.: $ ls -l Maildir-test drwx------ Jun 16 17:02 cur/ drwx------ Jun 16 17:02 new/ drwx------ Jun 16 17:02 tmp/ Then read the wanted mailbox with mutt, select messages which you want and save them into Maildir-test folder. Mutt will recognise that the folder is in maildir-type and convert the messages while saving. After cleaning the folder you can save it back to some mailbox-type folder, thus converting them to mailbox-type. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.
