To a degree, this situation would have been eased if I'd been able to get OS/2 up and running in a virtual machine under openSUSE. But, despite many attempts and much frustration, I have not been able to get any of the OS/2 flavours to work satisfactorily as a VirtualBox guest in an openSUSE host. That includes eCS 2.0 and the latest editions of VBox.
I have been able to get WARP 4 working with qemu.
But it won't work forever. Against that day, what I'd like to do is convert the contents of archived Yarn/2 mail folders into mbox format so I can then import them into Thunderbird or other mailer running on openSUSE (currently 12.1).
The only way that I can think of is to pack your folders into SOUP files with "Yarn to Soup with Grep"[1], read them into Gnus under Emacs with the nnsoup backend and copy/move the messages to mbox files. However, Gnus have a steep learning curve- YMMV.
