Sorry, it may not be that easy for everybody else.
I have about 350000 Mails in about 100 Folders in about 10 accounts.

I just did some testing:
-  I can export 1100 Mails per minute to .eml files on the same disc,
  with virus-scanner running. (This would take about 6 hours of
  babysitting TB to get my mails out.)
- If I choose a unix mailbox, switch of virus-scanning (shouldn't do
  that, really), and choose a different disc than the one TB runs on,
  I can push this to 8000 mails per minute. (This would still take
  well over an hour of babysitting TB.)
BTW, CPU-usage of TB seems to be the bottleneck here.

So, thats for the record, for everybody who is interested.

I am interested in getting my mail over into a linux-imap-server
running on maildir-mailstorage. Anybody got a clue on how to do this
without much (any?) handwork? (Doesn't matter if it takes a week,
would leave the machine running when I am in my holidays *g*)


(Specs of my test:
Athlon 1,2Ghz, 768MB ram, 36gb u2w scsi discs,
Mailsample was last years archive of postfix-users-ml, 80000 mails of
300Mb total)

 Timo
