.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This manual page documents briefly the
\fBmb2md\fR.
.PP
\fBmb2md\fR
Converts Mbox mailboxes to Maildir format.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB-h\fP " 10
Show summary of options.
.IP "\fB-m\fP " 10
If this is used then the source will
be the single mailbox at /var/spool/mail/blah for
user blah and the destination mailbox will be the
"destdir" mailbox itself.
.IP "\fB-s\fP \fIsourcedir\fR " 10
Directory, relative to the user's home directory,
which is where the the "somefolders" directories are located.
Or if directory starts with a "/" it is taken as a
absolute path, e.g. /mnt/oldmail/user _OR_
A single mbox file which will be converted to
the destdir.
.IP "\fB-R\fP " 10
If defined, do not skip directories found in a mailbox
directory, but runs recursively into each of them,
creating all wanted folders in Maildir.
.IP "" 10
Incompatible with '-f'
.IP "\fB-f\fP \fIsomefolder\fR " 10
Directories, relative to "sourcedir" where the Mbox files
are. All mailboxes in the "sourcedir"
directory will be converted and placed in the
"destdir" directory. (Typically the Inbox directory
which in this instance is also functioning as a
folder for other mailboxes.)
.IP "" 10
The "somefolder" directory
name will be encoded into the new mailboxes' names.
See the examples below.
.IP "" 10
This does not save an UW IMAP dummy message file
at the start of the Mbox file. Small changes
in the code could adapt it for looking for
other distinctive patterns of dummy messages too.
.IP "" 10
Don't let the source directory you give as "somefolders"
contain any "."s in its name, unless you want to
create subfolders from the IMAP user's point of
view. See the example below.
.IP "" 10
Incompatible with '-R'
.IP "\fB-d\fP \fIdestdir\fR " 10
Directory where the Maildir format directories will be created.
If not given, then the destination will be ~/Maildir .
Typically, this is what the IMAP server sees as the
Inbox and the folder for all user mailboxes.
If this begins with a '/' the path is considered to be
absolute, otherwise it is relative to the users
home directory.
.IP "\fB-d\fP \fIstrip_extension\fR " 10
If defined this extension will be stripped from
the original mailbox file name before creating
the corresponding maildir. The extension must be
given without the leading dot ("."). See the example below.
.SH "USAGE"
.PP
Please read the USAGE documentation
(zless /usr/share/doc/mb2md/USAGE.gz).
