I currently am using Sylpheed Claws that uses MH folders. While I am happy with Sylpheed Claws, I may want to use KMail, but I don't want to have to define all my directories individually. I have been using Linux at home for several years, having used exmh, and converted to Sylpheed Claws a while back. I switched to Sylpheed when there was a serious problem with exmh. I have nearly 500 mail folders that I have set up over the years.
1. is there an existing utility (script or otherwise) that will update MH folders to maildir?
2. If not, what mechanism does KMail use to recognize maildir folders, other than the existence of the cur, tmp, and new subdirectories?
I can't find anything specific to maildir, but sylpheed has an "export to mbox" feature, and kmail can handle mbox files. In kmail, you can then convert from mbox to maildir
