If you're trying to go mbox->maildir with IMAP, (Al)pine is probably the best solution. Non-pine users would probably be more comfortable in mutt, but either will do.
Backup your mboxes, then get the new mail infrastructure setup pointing to maildirs. Make sure everything delivers inbound and outbound properly with the IMAP/Maildir setup, then just open each of your backed mbox mailboxes in alpine, and save over to the imap server. If you have hundreds of mbox mailboxes, there's probably a way to script it with procmail, but for just a few, (Al)pine will be easier for you. --Ted On 1/11/2015 8:59 PM, Matt Lawrence wrote: > On Sun, 11 Jan 2015, John Sellens wrote: > >> I believe that the Pine mail client had IMAP support if not right >> from the start, very early on. >> >> In this discussion, I'm not clear on how Matt is currently accessing >> his mail (direct from mbox, IMAP, POP), or how the mail is stored >> on the server (mbox, maildir, etc). > > Everything lives on the server, I ssh and run (al)pine locally to access > my mail spool locally, no POP3 or IMAP in use at all.
