convert maildir to mbox a single domain

maildir is running as a global wise option as you may need the correct exim version installed which supports maildir. In order to run maildir, you will need to run it for all domains.

 

Care to share it? I don't need it, but that sounds like a useful script.

 

please share the script.. it helps us all

 

Below command could be also useful.

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mb2md/mb2md -s /home/username/mail/domain.com/user/inbox -d /home/username/mail/domain.com/user/

 

David, seriously, you could probably charge for such a script if it works dependably. If you can't share it here in the forums please PM me with a price.

I haven't had the occasion to try this (I'm still running mbox/UW-IMAP), but I understand that if you restore a cpanel backup of an mbox account, the restore process converts the mail from mbox to maildir if the server is running maildir/Courier. However, there are no reports that I can find of having this work the other way around.

Was chatting with someone yesterday who ran /scripts/convert2maildir and regretted it; then tried to go back to mbox with the same script (it appears to have that functionality as designed). However, as implemented, the script did a very poor job of backward conversion and left .cur and .tmp files and folders all over the place.

If cPanel can't get it right and you have, please share!
