| Summary : Converts Mbox Mailboxes to Maildir Format
|
Description :
mb2md.pl is a Perl script that takes one or more Mbox format mailbox files in
a directory and convert them to Maildir format mailboxes. As the Mbox format
has some drawbacks, D. J. Bernstein created the Maildir format when he wrote
Qmail. With the Mbox format all mail of a specific folder is stored as one
large text file. The Maildir format stores each mail as a seperate file. It is
a faster and more efficient way to store mail. It works particularly well over
NFS, which has a long history of locking-related woes.
The Mbox format is used by most of the POP3/IMAP servers, most mail servers
(MTAs) and mail readers (MUAs). The Maildir format is used by Qmail,
Courier-MTA and can be also used as a alternative mail storage format by
Postfix and Exim. A good POP3/IMAP server for Maildirs is Courier IMAP.
