Is there a good program in Debian to convert a Maildir of mail to an mbox file?

A quick search only turned up one that is part of the qmail package. I'd rather have something that doesn't conflict with my favourite MTA.

Last time I just used mutt. mutt -Rf /var/mail/fred # open mbox read-only l~T # select all mail ;s /var/mail/fred2/ # save it to a maildir x # quit IIRC I was actually splitting up a bajillion-message maildir into per-month maildirs, but I was still only doing a dozen or so writes. I'm not aware of a fully automated approach. PS: may also want -nF/dev/null.

You have /usr/bin/formail from the procmail package. Do: for i in new/* cur/*;do formail <"$i">> ../mbox;done Or: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2501182/convert-maildir-to-mbox http://yergler.net/projects/one-off/maildir-to-mbox/ https://gist.github.com/nyergler/1709069 -- Cheers, Snowden is accused of giving information to "the enemy".
