Hello,

Goal: take an "mbx" folder and convert it to a set of files, one per message, in "eml" format (i.e. unix format with 1 message per file).

I know this could be done several ways ... running IMAP and pulling down the messages and saving the source, or converting the mbx folder to unix and splitting it on "^From ".

However, I wondered if there is another simpler way? I am interested in speed and IO efficiency here. I.e. lets say you have 10,000 or more messages in a large folder. A conversion from mbx to unix by itself takes a significant amount of resources.

Does anyone have another idea of doing this conversion, using uw imap/cclient tools?

Thank you,
