I tried the --skipheader option, but I still had a lot of errors. In
order to get the rest, I used Thunderbird's "Redirect" option. This
way, I was able to move all of the messages to the new account. Now
I'll just use Thunderbird's filters to move them to the right folders.

Quoting Andrew Morgan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If I recall correctly, you can remove that line entirely. Lines
beginning with "From <datestring>" are used as the message delimiter
in mbox format. A real From header would be "From: xxx" (note the
colon).
Cyrus doesn't need that header to separate messages since it has one
file per message. For the record, that is also why Pine always
inserts a ">" in front of any lines beginning with "From " in the
message body as well.

Thanks, Leon and Chad for pointing this program out. It worked much
better! I was able to copy all the "good" messages fine with it.
I was able to track down the cause of the "Invalid Header" as well.
For some reason, I have a bunch of messages with this header:
">From XXX Tue Feb 22 20: 16:15 2005"
I'm not sure where they came from; possibly an error in migrating
between servers. Now the question is, how do I remove these? There
is always the ">From XXX", but the date after changes.
Any ideas?

Try imapsync - http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/README
Here is an example of the syntax:
imapsync --host1 198.74.48.3 --user1 username1 --password1 secret1
--host2 198.74.48.10 --user2 username2 --password2 secret2
--noauthmd5 --include '^ANYFOLDERNAME' --subscribe

Subject: Formatting Messages
I've tested out several different IMAP servers in the last few
years (Courier, DBMail, now Cyrus). All my personal mail is
currently in DBMail, and I'm trying to migrate it to Cyrus. I've
got archives of a few mailing lists that run to the thousands of
messages. Interspersed throughout these are random messages that
apparently have "bare newlines" or "invalid headers". When trying
to move the entire folder, I'll get these often reported errors.
Is there a way to move the messages that do not have malformed
headers, and leave the rest? I want to move as much as I can to
Cyrus, but I really don't want to have to try each message
seperately.
Alternatively, is there a tool to repair the messages with errors?
I've tried having 2 IMAP accounts in Thunderbird, and moving from
one to the other. I've tried mailutil, offlineimap, and mbsync with
no luck. Any tips would be appreciated!
David
