[kde] kmail: MH --> MAILDIR

[Jürgen Vollmer]

Hi everybody,

I asked some time ago:
> is there a program which converts all my mails stored in MH format into 
> maildir format?
> No I don't want to it via MH --> MBOX --> MAILDIR (it's about 700 MByte mail,
> and some mails are large (~2-6 MB)

I have written such a program myself (thanks to Craig Dickson <crdic at yahoo.com>
who gave me the essential procmail hint). 

Please find the small shell script under:
  http://www.informatik-vollmer.de/software/mh2maildir.html

From the "man-page"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
usage: mh2maildir [options] old new [folder]
transform mails stored in MH format into MAILDIR format using procmail(1)

Options:
        -h     Show help piped through more
        -H     Show help.
        -f     Force overwriting the `new' directory.
               Default: it should not exist and is created by mh2maildir.
        -kmail Create subdirectories names as used by kmail.
               Default: use same names as used by MH.
               This flag must be used togethwer with -R
        -q     Be quiet.
        -r     Mark mails as read.
               Default: mails are marked as unread.
        -v     Show version.
        -R     Process recursively all subdirectories of `old'.
               For each subdirectory of `old' a subdirectory in `new' with
               the same name is created.
               Default: only the MH files contained in `old' are processed.

Arguments:
        old    The MH mail directory.
        new    The MAILDIR mail directory.
        folder Store all mails below the `folder' of `new'.
               Default: store them direct below `new'.

The integrity of the transformed mails is checked (using diff)
The timestamp of the new mail file is set to old one.
The MH mail files are not modified.
