I would really like to get more information about the best way to move
my mbox mail into maildir, and what's involved in getting my new mail to
be delivered into the new maildir files. I don't want to lose a single
message!
Is there any kind of utility for reading mbox and writing maildir so I
can transition over? I'm assuming that getting procmail to deliver to
maildir is just a matter of a command line option or something.
Thanks guys, everyone has had good suggestions for me!
