Hi,

I'm looking for a quick tool that can connect to my IMAP account grab all the messages in a particular folder and dump them to a mbox format file?

Anyone know a quick easy tool to do that?

This is a spam folder that I'd like to do some Bayes spam learning on, but since I've migrated to mdbox I don't think I can do this directly on the mailbox.

Any thoughts appreciated. With v2.0: dsync -m spam backup mbox:~/mbox-mails/

There are also doveadm move and doveadm import commands that can do this.

OK, That would do a mailbox called spam no? I have a normal user who has an IMAP folder called 'Junk E-mail'

Is there a similar syntax?

Is there a similar syntax? Yeah, the -m parameter just specifies the mailbox name. So:

dsync -m 'Junk E-mail' backup mbox:~/mbox-mails/

If different accounts have different names, then I guess you'll just have to run dsync twice with each name.

Thanks - was experimenting and got it. Works a treat!
