mbox2maildir1

Convert an mbox to a maildir using python's libraries

Usage

mbox2maildir MBOX MAILDIR

Overview

mbox2maildir converts an mbox to a maildir. It is a very simple wrapper around Python's mailbox library. The maildir may already exist, in which case the messages in the mbox are added to the maildir.

mbox2maildir is an alternative to the venerable mb2md, which fails to process some mboxes that are out there.

Options

None.
