I recently switched to an all-courier MTA/IMAP/maildir system and I really like it. It comes with a lot of really good tools. And a lot of man pages to read! I previously had procmail dropping mail to mbox formatted ~/mail/INBOX for pine. I converted my old mail thusly: cat mail/INBOX | reformail -f0 -s maildrop But first, of course, you should have your maildrop configuration all set up to your liking.
