 mbx?  For real?  Not some weird undocumented thing?


I believe outlooks mbx format is different from UW's which basically an
mbox with some extra headers.

 According to this you can install uw-imap and simply copy the mbx
 files and it'll work.  Not only that, but c-client is a free (C)
 library for handling mail messages.  Mahogany (a GTK+ based MUA) uses
 it,

As does pine, tkrat and PHP's Imap module that I know off.

[...]

 Worst-case scenario (if the files really are mbx and can be found
 on-disk) you write some C code to read the mbx and spit it back out in
 maildir (or whatever) :-).


Or if you are so inclined, libmail-cclient-perl gives you a Perl
interface.  (And there is also the PHP option I mentioned.)

(OT) POP Outlook Folders to Imap Linux

2002-05-09 Thread Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira

Hi all,
I installed exim, wu-imapd-ssl and ipopd-ssl from woody in a Potato 
Debian GNU/Linux machine.
All is working fine.
I have a machine with 200 POP folders in Outlook that I cant get them I 
put them inside Imap folders.
Any hints?
TIA,Paulo Henrique

I think, I saw mozilla (on win32) could import outlook
mailboxes. Maybe you could use mozilla to convert the outlook
mailboxes to imap mailboxes and then use the mail client you
want (with imap support), for new mail.

Hi Theo and others,
Is there any other way to do this?
Install Netscape 6 in every machine that wants to migrate this is a 
pain.
TIA,Paulo Henrique.

Does outlook allow you to move a message to a different folder?  How
about an imap folder?

Hi,
Outlook (Outoflook) allow me only to move messages (not folders) to an 
imap folder. 
So if I have 20 folders I have to create them manually as imap folders 
and get folder by folder and move messages
Outlook saves mail in a *strange* mbx format. :(
Any hints?
Thanks again,   Paulo Henrique

Yes, but that's better than nothing :-).

mbx?  For real?  Not some weird undocumented thing?

http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html
mbx This is the current preferred mailbox format.  It can be
handled quite efficiently by c-client, without the problems
that exist with unix and mmdf formats.  Messages are stored in
Internet standard CR LF format.

mbx permits shared access, including shared expunge.  It
preserves UIDs, and allows the creation of keywords.
 

According to this you can install uw-imap and simply copy the mbx
files and it'll work.  Not only that, but c-client is a free (C)
library for handling mail messages.  Mahogany (a GTK+ based MUA) uses
it, and thus ought to be able to handle mbx as well.

A google search also found a spec for mbx which I've tossed up at
http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/mbx.txt.

Worst-case scenario (if the files really are mbx and can be found
on-disk) you write some C code to read the mbx and spit it back out in
maildir (or whatever) :-).

HTH,
-D
