Mb2md is what I used way back when I converted from mbox to maildir when I was running rh9/sendmail and switched, but it doesn't seem to be written to merge a mailbox into a maildir. It's really written to convert FROM mailbox TO maildir format. Heres what the doc says: "mb2md does not destroy your valuable email. It insists that the output maildir not exist when you start, so you know that the output maildir exactly matches the input mbox. More importantly, it does not remove the input mbox when finished -- so if you decide you don't like what mb2md did, you can fallback to your old mbox." I suppose I could hack it to do what I want, but I was hoping to find something which was already tested. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
