Hello, I am wondering if there is a facility to "convert" messages that are already in the netscape local mail (from using pop3) so that they can be stored in Maildir format on the IMAP server. We are going to begin using the courier suite soon and I want to be able to move everyone's existing mail (a lot of it) from their hard drives (netscape local mail) so they will be accessible via IMAP, webmail etc.. tia

If the mail is stored in mbox format, try mbox2maildir or perhaps even formail -s.

When I did this I simply dragged the messages to the IMAP folders within Netscape/Outlook/whatever. This uploaded them to the server (almost) correctly. The only thing left to do was to run a small script on the server which fixed the 'received' dates in the messages. I have that script if you want it.
