convert exim mail storage to qmail maildir

[k.satirli]

has anyone got a few hints for me on how I can convert old exim mails (created on a cpanel powered server) to the qmail format?

horde has an option to upload the file and it would convert it. it worked fine for small files ( < 8 mb) but mine are all around 100 mb and uploading those via the browser is ... well impossible.

a shell script would be awesome or anything that works painlessly for 20 big files.

There are multiple scripts for this, as far as I remember the below one runs very well:

thanks for your help. I had a go at the script and it semi-worked:

perl mb2md.pl -s /root/test/inbox -d /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/liquidblaze

returned:

Converting /root/test/inbox to maildir: /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/liquidblaze
Source Mbox is /root/test/inbox
Target Maildir is /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/liquidblaze 
Dummy mail system first message detected and not saved.
3 messages.

however, the messages dont show up in my inbox nor anywhere else..

[EDIT]

woohoo. found it.

the target mail dir should be:

/var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/liquidblaze/Maildir

somehow ... obvious
