Re: Need to convert mbox to Maildir

I have a mbox file of emails. I want to convert this to Maildir giving me individual message files per email. I've looked at dsync, but as far as I can tell this wants a specific target user and it appears that it will "distribute" the converted messages into that user's INBOX.

I don't want to put these mbox messages into any particular user's Maildir hierarchy, just export to file-per-message format to a destination directory of my choosing.

Is this possible?

Yes.

[root@ketola /]# mkdir /test [root@ketola /]# chown vmail /test [root@ketola /]# doveadm backup -u sami Maildir:/test/

done.
