Hi, I backed up all the user email files before performing a fresh install, and now trying to convert those files to maildir format. I have mb2md installed and it constantly returns errors Code: perl mb2md-3.20.pl -s someone -d /var/www/www.domain.ca/user/someone/Maildir/ Fatal: Source is not an mbox file or a directory! I'm left beleiving that my source files are not mbox...however I've popped one of the files open and notice that the emails are all separated by a Code: ________________________________ line so it's more than likely me. Please help.
maybe this helps: http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ Just have a look at the commands available...
This is the page I've been working from and it's pretty straight forward. I'm trying to figure out why my source file is apparently not mbox format. thanks anyways.
Hmmm, if the mails should be separated with a blank line you could do the following: Have a script replace this Code: ________________________________ by a blank line.
There are many blank lines throughout the text file and I'm left believing this was not a standard file created by ISPconfig and is impossible to run a script on. What I did was setup the old email server with an internal ip, and create both old and new email accounts in good ol' Outlook Express using IMAP and just clicked and dragged from inbox to inbox, changing the account names as I went along. I am now a fan of maildir.
