Hi,<br>
Thanks for the recomendation.<br>
I just tested last days the mb2md.pl program and is the only one<br>
that worked for me.<br>
<br>
Here are the result:<br>
Perfect_Maildir<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/">http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/</a><br>
Works ok but does not maintain the "unread" flag<br>
<br>
mbox2maildir.c (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.qmail.org/top.html#maildir">http://www.qmail.org/top.html#maildir</a>)<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://riemann.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/vladov/ftp/mbox2maildir.tar.gz">http://riemann.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/vladov/ftp/mbox2maildir.tar.gz</a><br>
Very fast but put all emails as new, print 1 line per email<br>
while converting<br>
<br>
mb2md<br>

The best I found, It can recurse you ~/mail and convert it for you.<br>
Not so fast but keep all message flags. All compatible with dovecot<br>
<br>
So, my recomendation is to use mb2md.<br>
<br>
I'm on sendmail + procmail + dovecot 1.0alpha5 + maildir and all is<br>
working fine. I use this default_mail_env:<br>
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir/:INBOX=/var/mail/Maildir/%u/<br>
so, all my folders are no under the Inbox as I expected.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'm testing/debuging the migration from mbox to maildir in a mailserver
running Dovecot 1.0alpha5.
I migrated all 472715 emails(in a test server) and later noted that dovecot
could not get the same flags/status of the emails as in the mbox.
I was using perfect_maildir.pl and I think its not dovecot fault. Seems
to me that perfect_maildir.pl convert the emails in a way that dovecot
could not understand completelly.
So, my cuestion is, which mbox to maildir converter can I use that
is compatible with dovecot 1.0alpha5 ?
Thanks
Oliver

I am not sure how good it is but there is also mb2md utility.
