Hi,
I am trying to assist a customer with a mbox to maildir migration. I have them using the latest and greatest mb2md.pl; the one that support -K, -U|-u. They have seen overwhelming success with this; however, a recent mbox introduced a new scenario and the result was that all messages were replayed in the client UI.
The mbox in question had _no_ X-UID tags. To work-a-round the issue the customer performed the following steps.
If there were no X-UID headers, it means the mailbox had never been opened.
The customer also noted that after the migration all messages went to ~/MailDir/new.
I would appreciate any thoughts on why this scenario played out the way it did? Is it expected that these messages should reside in ~/MailDir/new?
It's just fine for messages to be in new/ directory. It basically means they have \Recent flag set, i.e. client hasn't seen them yet.
