When concatenating mbox files like described here https://xaizek.github.io/2013-03-30/merge-mbox-mailboxes/. You will end up with an 'unsorted' mbox file. Is this going to be a problem esspecially when they are large >2GB's and new emails will be written to it? The email client nicely sorts the message from folder A "foldera 5 last" as last, but of course the mbox is not like this.
Is there a better solution for merging files? Having: A folder A with messages: From Subject Received Size test foldera 1 16:18 665 B test foldera 2 16:18 665 B test foldera 3 16:18 665 B test foldera 4 16:18 665 B test foldera 5 last 16:29 670 B A folder B with messages: From Subject Received Size test folderb 1 16:23 665 B test folderb 2 16:24 665 B test folderb 3 16:24 665 B test folderb 4 16:24 665 B test folderb 5 16:24 665 B [@ mail] cat .foldera .folderb > .folderc Getting a folder C with messages: From Subject Received Size test foldera 1 16:18 665 B test foldera 2 16:18 665 B test foldera 3 16:18 665 B test foldera 4 16:18 665 B Mail System Internal Data DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA 16:19 454 B test folderb 1 16:23 665 B test folderb 2 16:24 665 B test folderb 3 16:24 665 B test folderb 4 16:24 665 B test folderb 5 16:24 665 B test foldera 5 last 16:29 670 B
