I tried: cat /path/to/mailbox |procmail -m mbox2mdir.rc where mbox2mdir is a minimal procmailrc file: :0 /path/to/maildir/ I got the whole mailbox as one message in the maildir -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
