Hi all,

I have found lots of scripts to convert mbox to maildir, and they all
seem to work.  However, when I transfer the newly generateed maildirs
to my test machine, I only ever see the Inbox.  If I create folders
inside my Inbox, they are visible, but I don't know where their
Maildirs are.  Here is how I told my script to convert them:
/var/spool/mail/<user> -> /home/<user>/Maildir(cur,tmp,new)
/home/<user>/mbox1 -> /home/<user>/Maildir/mbox1(cur,tmp,new)
/home/<user>/mbox2 -> /home/<user>/Maildir/mbox2(cur,tmp,new)

Am I missing something here? Because it just doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for your help,
Misty

Courier uses a . as the folder prefix, which coincidentally (or otherwise) hides files. Do a ls -a and you'll see the folders you've created. I would suggest giving the old mboxes a . at the beginning, so you'd have /home/<user>/Maildir/.mbox1/(cur,tmp,new)
