i doesn't look like there is an easy way to convert people's inboxes and
mail folders over to mix while the server is live. i haven't delved into
the guts of mixcvt, but i'm wondering if it locks the input folder while
reading so that i could then hack in a quick rename into mixcvt. but i'm
not sure if the locking of the other tools would have already opened the
original file and just merrily use it after the lock vanished? what i'm
hoping for is:
exclusive lock original
mix convert to temp
rename original to backup
rename temp to original
unlock original
so that the worst that happens is during the conversion, a user is denied
access to the mailbox being converted. do i have any hope?
