However, mixcvt does not seem to recognize mbox inboxes when run in this fashion. If someone had a mbox file in their home directory, those messages did not get converted.
It's a bug in mbxcvt. Thanks for reporting it. It's fixed in Panda IMAP. mailutil does not have the bug.
The other thing we noticed is that several people reported seeing old mail (or maybe deleted mail) get downloaded again. This seems to be the result of our running mailutil to create an empty MIX store rather than running mixcvt.
Your guess is correct. mailutil does not preserve the UID regime. mixcvt does.
Per the IMAP FAQ, we did have to recompile pine with the new c-client for the benefit of the few that use it so that it would recognize the MIX stores.
Have you thought about upgrading to Alpine?
It's 3:30 in the afternoon, and normally I would be getting calls complaining of dropped IMAP connections and slow response times. Haven't heard a peep today. One of my co-workers says that before today it would take his webmail application three or four minutes to display his inbox (if it displayed it at all) and now it takes about 10 seconds.
I'm glad to hear this. Most people who have switched to mix have been quite happy with the performance improvement.
For what it's worth, my employer (Messaging Architects) has adopted mix technology in our next-generation product. We're making considerable extensions to mix (e.g., calendaring) but our code will read UW mix files.
