You must supply three environment variables to
maildir2mbox: MAILDIR is the name of your maildir direc-
tory; MAIL is the name of your mbox file; and MAILTMP is a
temporary file that maildir2mbox can overwrite. MAILTMP
and MAIL must be on the same filesystem.
It depends on your shell. E.g. for Bourne-like one:
export MAILTMP=some_temporary_file
I think that a file named ~/mailtmp would be OK.
If it works, you can add it to one of your session-startup files
(maybe into ~./bash_profile or - if for all users - /etc/profile).
