What's the best way to import 600 mbox files to an IMAP server? Background: The files were created locally by Thunderbird, arranged in a file hierarchy. I'd like the same hierarchy to be created on the IMAP server. For example, the mbox file named Recipes.mbox would migrate to a new IMAP folder named Recipes, and the mbox file at path Foo/Bar/Blat.mbox would migrate to a new IMAP folder "Blat" within folder "Foo/Bar" on the IMAP server.
I don't have direct filesystem access to the IMAP server. (It's fastmail.com.) Things I've tried: - Fastmail has a web UI for migrating mbox files, which works pretty well, but it requires manual mousing & typing for every mbox. Doing this 600 times would be...not fun. :-) - Dragging the local folders in Thunderbird to the IMAP server doesn't work. Thunderbird crashes or just stops copying. (Thunderbird's instability is a catalyst for this migration.) - I read about the tool imapsync, but if I understand correctly, it copies from one IMAP server to another, not from a directory hierarchy of mbox files to an IMAP server. Perhaps I could spin up a temporary IMAP service to serve the files just for this migration, but I've never done this before. Thank you very much for any ideas!
