Maildir to mbox conversion

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

SystemsAligned offers a number of scripts and utilities which convert qmail-style Maildir email folders into the standard UNIX mbox format that Mail.app can import (and vice-versa).

Don’t know what that means? Neither do I really, although Wikipedia points the way. (Gosh, that’s a resource worth supporting!)

But people who do know what this means and who need to do a conversion like this may find the SystemsAligned resources a useful supplement to the Kmail to mbox script.

It converts the maildir hierarchy used by KMail into a standard mbox format which Mail.app can import.

UPDATE: (November, 2006) A better script is now available at macOSXHints.
