Hi all,

I am using Dovecot 1.2.7, and trying to do my first Mbox to Maildir conversion. So I created a small script:

#!/bin/bash

ls > userlist.txt

for i in cat userlist.txt; do echo "---------------------"; echo "Converting user $i..."; echo "---------------------";

    su - $i -s /bin/bash -c "/opt/scripts/mb2md.pl -s mail -R";
    su - $i -s /bin/bash -c "/opt/scripts/mb2md.pl -m -s 

/var/mail/$i"; su - $i -s /bin/bash -c "cp ~$i/mail/.subscriptions ~$i/Maildir/subscriptions"; done

rm -f userlist.txt

I would like some help with the following:

1. Trying it, I get multiple warnings for some mailboxes like this:

"WARNING: UID from X-UID: header too low. Ignoring it

Is this a problem? Or I can ignore it?

2. I understand that I also have to instruct my MDA (procmail) to deliver mail to the new location. I found that I have to create an /etc/procmailrc with the following line:

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/

My question is: Some users have their own .procmailrc file inside their home directory, to filter mail etc. Their file does not contain the above statement. Would the default procmailrc file be processed for them as well? Or their file takes precedence, causing the default file not to be processed at all?

Thank you
