maildirmake is probably the official answer. (I think it is in maildrop; courier-utils ?) Inofficially, I use 2md (http://home.uninet.ee/~ragnar/2md/) for the conversion of the default /var/mail/ mboxes to Maildir/. It also creates the Maildir/ for you in case of an empty mbox. The latter would be my personal answer. (Attention, you need Time::Zone as library) HTH, Uwe
