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.
