[opensuse] HOWTO Import /var/mail/hylton email to MailDir?
Hi, I am using openSuSE 11.0 and I had an issue with my Postfix setup that didn't identify the email data store correctly. As a result some email received by fetchmail has been processed into the /var/mail/hylton folder. I have solved the Postfix error, but would now like to move the email from its incorrect location(/var/mail/hylton) and add trh messages into my Maildir store(/home/hylton/Maildir/), without bollocksing that. That way I will be able to view the messages in the Maildir location using Thunderbird, possibly via a new account. I figured I should create another account and then when the messages are displayed in that account's Inbox, simply drag and drop them into the Maildir store Inbox. What am I missing or what server details and other settings should I use if I am not actually connecting to an ISP but rather my own local filesystem ie /var/mail/hylton?

No need. Use this: http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ Charles -- "Even more amazing was the realization that God has Internet access. I wonder if He has a full newsfeed?" (By Matt Welsh)
