I don't know.

It is, as has already been discussed on this list:

	formail -s procmail < /var/mail/"your_mbox"

is the procmail version to convert a whole mbox into a maildir, including
sorting the mails into various folders, if your procmailrc is set up
correctly. The simpelest procmailrc to accomplish this might look as follows:

*****
SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILDIR=/var/maildir/$LOGNAME
ORGMAIL=$MAILDIR/
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL

:0
./
*****

Greetings,

  Gunter

PS: Don't forget to back up your mails first!

The person on the other side was a young woman. Very obviously a young
woman. There was no possible way that she could have been mistaken for a
young man in any language, especially Braille.        -- The goddess
