convert YAM e-mails to other format
« on: January 20, 2010, 05:26:47 PM »
Hi peeps,

I'm wondering if any of you know of any converting tools that can handle YAM mails/dir structure?

Best would be if one could convert it to the "maildir" format as this seems to be widely used.

I'd might even try to write a converter myself if nothing is available out there. But I have to ask before attacking it :)

I've never heard of formail and mailutil - but will investigate them, thanks.

I guess the files themselves should be re-encoded aswell? .. but what encoding are the default? or maybe there's a tool for that out there.. preferely from Xamigaformat to UTF-8 as this is default on my linux system.

Whoops!

I've just tried to open a mail-file on linux.. seems it's clear text .. actually it's mbox format it seems.. my mail client of choice (KMail) can import mbox files.. though is a clumsy one.. but it seem to work :)

I guess I found the answer to my own question.
