For Maildir (assuming you have a Maildir setup), just rename all the files
<timestamp>.<pid>.<host> and put them in Maildir/new. You may be able to get
away with making up <timestamp>; <pid> you can make up; <host> is just you're
machine name. So a good script may be:
#!/bin/sh
timestamp=945801478
for i in *.MSG
do
timestamp=`expr $timestamp + 1`
mv $i $timestamp.$$.`hostname`
done
## Script end
For mbox, its more tricky. Essentially you just concatenate all the files
together, but you need to make sure:
1. There is a blank line between each message
2. The first line of each message reads: "From <address> <date>",
eg: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 21 18:40:44 1999
this is *independant* of the From: header.
A small script may be able to do this by stripping the information out of the
Date: and From: headers. I could write one, but I'm going to leave that as an
exercise for the reader :) Not certain, but I think the date part of the From
line is fussy about the format, so best keep the format shown in the example
above.
