mbox--> maildir with getmail, procmail,mutt
hi folks,
converting from mbox ot maildirs, and wanted to check I was doingthis
right before I screwed it up. Here's what I plan to do:
in .getmail/getmailrc (2.3.7, woody package (can't use the sid
packages, not compatible with my provider): is there anything to
change? Right now mail just gets sent to |/usr/bin/procmail .
Shouldn't procmail take care of everything?
in .procmailrc
add line
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
and in individual recipes, add trailing slash to all of the old mbox names.
will procmail then still try to deliver to /var/spool/mail/username
when messages fall through all the recipes? Or will it somehow know
to deliver to $HOME/Maildir?
In .muttrc
set mbox_type = maildir
set folder = "~/Maildir
With all that done, then run
mb2md -m -d Maildir
mb2md -s Mail -R -d Maildir
doesthis sound right? have I left anything out?
thanks,
matt
