NAME

splitmbox – split a mailbox into mdir format

SYNOPSIS

splitmbox [ -l ] [ mbox ]

DESCRIPTION

Splitmbox converts a mailbox in mbox format into mdir(6) format. Mbox is the mailbox to convert. The default is /mail/box/user/mbox and the temporary destination is /mail/box/user/mboxdir.

After conversion, commands are printed to remove the old mailbox and replace it with the new. These must be executed by hand to complete the conversion. The -l flag executes these commands rather than printing them.
