Convert from Maildir to Mdbox
Hi,
i'd like to convert from maildir to mdbox.
what would be the best way to do this?
i have read the dsync part of the dovecot wiki but i don't get what i have to use for my setup.
my dovecot.conf (the snippets i think would matter):
mail_gid = 5000 mail_home = /DATEN/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:/DATEN/vmail/%d/%n/mail/ mail_plugins = " zlib" mail_uid = 5000
Thanks for your input.

Sometime, when I must converted many user's mailboxes from mbox to mdbox, I had have wrote one script to mass convert mailboxes for local or domain users and can provide it for you. It support mbox and maildir as source formats.

When you converting maildir-based mail boxes, you must grant write access to anyone to root mailbox folder, elsewhere conveting failed (dsync runs in user access space). I.e. when your layout is /usr/folder/mailbox1, /usr/folder/mailbox2 etc. you must grant access to /usr/folder. Script detects user home directory and placed mail onto it.
commonlib.sh and colorprint.sh placed anywhere on PATH, /usr/bin is good place.
Message "INBOX exist..." you can safely ignored
