Hi Simon, Do you recall any of the script/tools' names?
I tried searching the list archive: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/index.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus ... but even a searches like "Maildir script" or "Maildir convert" (without quotes) returned nothing... :( It looks like only 1-word searches are possible (e.g. a search for Rob Siemborski doesn't work, but a search for Siemborski shows emails with "Rob"). So.... do you recall any names of tools, so I can search for those? Thanks, Otis --- Simon Matter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I'm trying to do 2 things: > > > > 1.
