Erik wrote splitmbox; that can handle the conversion to nupas mdir
format.  Make sure nothing is accessing the mailserve (e.g. via imap)
before you kick it off.

Great, thanks.

I just need to work out how to migrate my mailboxes
and incorperate my changes to upas (spam prevention).

[9fans] nupas

[Steve Simon]

Hi,

I am connecting to my plan9 mail server from my iphone/ipads
and am seeing the well-known imap performance issues.

So, I think I need to move to Eriks nupas eith mdirs to make
imap performant.

Has there been any work on nupas since eriks initial design?

has anyone written any scripts to simply migrate my mailboxes
into mail dirs?

Anyone have a nice canonical list of the changes nescessary to do the migration?

Thanks,

-Steve

Indeed. I liked this, although I always wished application state would 
transfer too. I imagined a sort of sam with multiple samterms, but I never 
did anything about it. I'm starting to now, but I expect it won't be ready 
for about a year, and I'm not working in C or (directly) for Plan 9.

I've been thinking about phones and tablets too, so I was a little bit excited 
to see Inferno for Android. The person behind it seems enthusiastic, capable, 
and a hard worker. He'd like to work on Inferno full-time.

https://github.com/bhgv/Inferno-OS_Android/releases

I haven't got involved myself for a few 
reasons: I don't like Limbo very much, I wasn't totally satisfied with Plan 9
and assume Inferno would have similar limits, and I'd just started my own 
major project before it was announced. I have hopes that retaining the 
principles of simple, unified, networkable interfaces with a different 
approach will yield better results, but I have a lot of exploration to do 
before I 
have anything concrete to say.

Oh, thank you. I could never seem to find the web pages, only one or two pdfs. 
Maybe they hide from search engines? Or maybe I never searched very well 
because I'm always doing 3 things at once anyway.
