Maildir to mbox

March 24th, 2007

I’ve been meaning to blog this for ages…

When we switched from our own server (living under my monitor) to a hosted server in the US (by the way we’re using Eapps and they are fantastic and great value too) I discovered they use mbox format on their server rather than Maildir. “Easy” I thought, “a quick google search will sort that out”. Well it turns out I was very wrong and all the scripts are going the other direction (a much more sensible direction I have to say but I wanted an easy to administer server so I didn’t want to change anything unless I had too).

Eventually I stumbed upon this script (maildirtombox.sh which worked admirably. I’m afraid I can’t remember where I found it but it was written by a guy called Joerg Reinhardt (thanks by the way) so he deserves all the credit.
