Is there a good tool for repairing/working with mbox files? I'm trying to get a user moved off of Entourage (Outlook for Mac). Entourage actually exports the mail (was pop, will be imap) as mbox files, however, I can't just drop them in place even after fixing the line-endings. many of the messages with attachments come up with the correct header info but no message body or attachment. But some work so it's clearly a problem that a lot the messages are malformed somehow.
If you still have the mail on the original client, can't you just set up an imap account in it pointing to your new server and let it push the messages back to an imap folder itself? That way you don't have to know/care how either the client or server stores the messages.
That's probably what I'll end up having to do, I was hoping to avoid it since that will be a slow process.
