Hi
I want to download all messages from an IMAP mailbox but i want this to be outputted into MailDir format. I tried using fetchmail but this outputted the mailbox into mbox format. Is there an IMAP client that works on the command line but will output into MailDir format or failing that how reliable is converting from mbox to MailDir ?
I remember there were some utilities distributed with wu-imapd source that might do what you want. A perl script that would split mbox mailbox into maildir format is also trivial to write. If you are transferring between two IMAP servers (one using mbox, the other using maildir), you can also use utility such as imapsync and not worry about the storage format of particular IMAP server.
