Hello,
I need to convert approx. 170 users from mbox to Maildir format. The users
have a /var/spool/mail/username as their current imap inbox and
~username/mail/multiplefilenames as imap folders. This exists on the old
server. The new server will be laid out as follows:
/var/qmail/maildirs/username/Maildir
I would like to copy the inbox and all imap folders for each user to a
staging area on the new server with a single directory for each user, such
as:
/var/qmail/staging/user1
that would contain files such as user1 (inbox from /var/spool/mail), and
folders such as folder1 folder2 folder3 (from ~username/mail/). The
conversion script would ideally go through every directory in
/var/qmail/staging and create the maildir directory in /var/qmail/maildirs
for each user. It would also take every file in mbox format in the users
staging directory and put it into his maildir with the appropriate read or
unread flag, as well as converting all files in the staging directory other
than the inbox file into the same named folders in their maildirs.
I would appreciate any advice from administrators who have sucessfully
performed this same type of conversion. Please copy me personally if you
reply.
Thanks,
Mike
