Hello,
I am using maildrop with a number of filter rules to sort incoming
email into various mailboxes. It works like a charm for my new email
that I download with fetchmail.
However, I have many old, unsorted mailboxes from before I started
using maildrop. Some of these mailboxes are maildir and some are
mbox.
Can anyone recommend a utility with which I can run these old
mailboxes through maildrop in order to sort their contents?
Thank you,
For the mbox files do this:
reformail -s maildrop < mbox_file
Be aware that you will loose the date received info if you do this. To
preserve it you will need to parse the From_ header, convert it to
epoch time, and name the maildir file appropriately. I *just* went
through this.
