     SPLITMBOX(8)                                         SPLITMBOX(8)

     NAME
          splitmbox - split a mailbox into mdir format

     SYNOPSIS
          splitmbox [ -l ] [ mbox ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Splitmbox converts a mailbox in mbox format into mdir(6)
          format.  Mbox is the mailbox to convert.  The default is
          /mail/box/user/mbox and the temporary destination is
          /mail/box/user/mboxdir.

          After conversion, commands are printed to remove the old
          mailbox and replace it with the new.  These must be executed
          by hand to complete the conversion.  The -l flag executes
          these commands rather than printing them.
