evMbox2maildir.pl
Part of my Mobile E-Mail Setup HOWTO, I wrote script to convert my Evolution mboxes over to Maildir format
I created a PERL script to run thru and parse Ximian Evolution’s mboxes and convert them into Maildir format. It’s a derived work from Bruce Guenter and Russ Nelson’s mbox2maildir scripts. Supports:
- Directory recursion
- X-Evolution header parsing (message status and flags)
- Normal hierarchal directory or Courier-IMAP directory naming
- By default both X-Evolution and [X-]Status header used, but options provided to override one or the other
- Convert mail marked “old” (X-Status) as read
- Skip or convert unexpunged deleted messages
- Convert Drafts, Outbox, Sent and Trash folders
- A documented manual (man page) – quite detailed
