Re: thunderbird: how to backup mailbox and restore quickly

["Yuwen Dai" <yuwend@gmail.com>]

$ formail -s < mboxfile | procmail recipefile

recipefile looks like this:

  :0:
  * ^Received: .* myserver.example.net ;.* Dec 2006
  /home/me/December

  :0:
  * ^Received: .* myserver.example.net ;.* Nov 2006
  /home/me/November

Hello Cameron,

I created a similiar rc file like this:

:0:
* ^Received: .*;.*Nov 2006
/tmp/November

The expected file /tmp/November didn't create.  A very large file in /var/mail was created instead. Any idea?

Best regards,
Yuwen
