For those that understand German I have once documented this approach here: http://blog.256bit.org/archives/345-Mutt-als-Mailbox-Konvertierer.html in short: you create a simple muttrc file like this: ,----[ muttrc_convert ]- | # Specify your target type | # use one of | # Maildir, MH, mbox und MMDF | set mbox_type=Maildir | | # Where to store the mails | # the path needs to exist! | set my_archivedir="~/mutt_archive/$mbox_type" | | # Create new mails, without confirmation | set confirmcreate=no | | # append mails without confirmation | set confirmappend=yes | | # quit without confirmation | set quit=yes | | folder-hook . 'push <tag-pattern>~A<enter>\ | <tag-prefix><copy-message><kill-line>\ | $my_archivedir<enter><quit>' `---- and then start mutt like this: mutt -F muttrc_convert -f mbox_file This won't touch your original mbox file only read it and then store your mails in the desired format at ~/mutt_archive as either Maildir, MH, mbox or MMDF depending on your output format.
