Old Seamonkey emails into new exim4 maildirs

[David Witbrodt <dawitbro@sbcglobal.net>]

Hi,

  I was wondering if any email gurus are reading debian-user, and are
willing to share some advice?

  In the past, I used email client apps like Seamonkey to retrieve
email from my ISP's POP3 server.  I tend to save a lot of emails, sorted
into directories based on who-was-the-sender or what-was-the-topic.
  This has left me with a large number of text files -- I assume mbox
format -- on two old machines, which I used as my main desktop machine
in different eras.
  I have already backed up those mbox files, but I just finished setting
up a home network with 3 machines -- one acting as smarthost for the
other two, and which connects to my ISP's SMTP server on behalf of all
the machines in my home network.  The local smarthost is using exim4
(with Maildirs) and courier-imap to make my email available to all of the
machines inmy network (regardless of which OS is running).

  My question is simple:  is there a way I can give exim4 those mbox
files from the 2 old machines so that it will move each email into the
new Maildir setup, and without "sending" or forwarding them to the
new machine.  (In other words, I would like to preserve the header
info in its current state.)


Thx,
Dave W.
