Thanks for offering this. For some reason, I ended up using this: mb2md -s Mail -d Maildir What is interesting, is that mb2md prepends a '.' to all of the existing mbox folder names it converts. Also, dots in existing folder names are converted to underscore. Is there something magical about the dot in the Maildir format? Otherwise, I will just remove the dots, since my mail filter saves to foldernames without the dots. Also is there any special meaning for the new, cur, other, queue and tmp folders that mb2md created?
