[Dovecot] how to best import Evolution/Thunderbird mail into dovecot?

Hi again...

Things are even much much worse... (oh how I hate Evolution right now).


I found a bug in Evolution, where it apparently corrupts all mail by
incorrectly (not) quoting From_ lines in headers/bodies...
It quotes lines matching "^From (.*)$" as ">From \1" but it does not
quote at all already quoted From_ lines, i.e. "^>+From .*$".

Now that means AFAICS, that it's not possible to repair that corruption
(you'll see my "happiness" about this, when reading the offensive bug
report):
Details here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686258


I'm not sure how this affects any of my migration/conversion plans...
any ideas?


Thanks,
a desperate Chris.
