Excerpts from William Morgan's message of Wed Apr 14 09:00:59 -0400 2010: > (Assuming that the Maildir format won't simply collapse with the result > of converting 29 million lines of mbox goodness.)
mbox2maildir is (generally) your friend. We've used it here with some success. The only issue we had is when the first line in a paragraph of a mail message starts with /From /. As you've seen from dealing with mboxes in sup, this isn't necessarily an easy problem to fix...in our case, we're dealing with mboxes created with the likes of ancient pine and elm, etc, so we might be worse off than normal mutt-made mboxes for instance. A conversion solution that is better, if possible, is to use imapsync, as it leaves the mbox parsing to the imap software. It requires more overhead to be useful though[1].
