#
# The Mbox -> Maildir inner loop is based on  qmail's script mbox2maildir, which
# was kludged by Ivan Kohler in 1997 from convertandcreate (public domain)
# by Russel Nelson.  Both these convert a single mailspool file.
#
# The qmail distribution has a maildir2mbox.c program.
#
# What is does:
# =============
#
# Reads a directory full of Mbox format mailboxes and creates a set of
# Maildir format mailboxes.  Some details of this are to suit Courier
# IMAP's naming conventions for Maildir mailboxes.
#
#   http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/
#
# This is intended to automate the conversion of the old
# /var/spool/mail/blah file - with one call of this script - and to
# convert one or more mailboxes in a specifed directory with separate
# calls with other command line arguments.
#
# Run this as the user - in these examples "blah".

# This version supports conversion of:
#
#    Date    The date-time in the "From " line of the message in the
#            Mbox format is the date when the message was *received*.
#            This is transformed into the date-time of the file which
#            contains the message in the Maildir mailbox.
#
#            This relies on the Date::Parse perl module and the utime
#            perl function.
#
#            The script tries to cope with errant forms of the
#            Mbox "From " line which it may encounter, but if
#            there is something really screwy in a From line,
#            then perhaps the script will fail when "touch"
#            is given an invalid date.  Please report the
#            exact nature of any such "From " line!
#
#
#   Flagged
#   Replied
#   Read = Seen
#   Tagged for Deletion
#
#            In the Mbox message, flags for these are found in the
#            "Status: N" or "X-Status: N" headers, where "N" is 0
#            or more of the following characters in the left column.
#
#            They are converted to characters in the right column,
#            which become the last characters of the file name,
#            following the ":2," which indicates IMAP message status.
#
#
#                F -> F      Flagged
#                A -> R      Replied
#                R -> S      Read = Seen
#                D -> T      Tagged for Deletion (Trash)
#
#            This is based on the work of Philip Mak who wrote a
#            completely separate Mbox -> Maildir converter called
#            perfect_maildir and posted it to the Mutt-users mailing
#            list on 25 December 2001:
#
#               http://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-users@mutt.org/msg21872.html
#
#            Michael Best originally integrated those changes into mb2md.
#
#
#   In addition, the names of the message files in the Maildir are of a
#   regular length and are of the form:
#
#       7654321.000123.mbox:2,xxx
#
#   Where "7654321" is the Unix time in seconds when the script was
#   run and "000123" is the six zeroes padded message number as
#   messages are converted from the Mbox file.  "xxx" represents zero or
#   more of the above flags F, R, S or T.
#
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#
# USAGE
# =====
#
# Run this as the user of the mailboxes, not as root.
#
#
# mb2md -h
# mb2md [-c] -m [-d destdir]
# mb2md [-c] -s sourcefile [-d destdir]
# mb2md [-c] -s sourcedir [-l wu-mailboxlist] [-R|-f somefolder] [-d destdir] [-r strip_extension]
#
#  -c            use the Content-Length: headers (if present) to find the
#                beginning of the next message
#                Use with caution! Results may be unreliable. I recommend to do
#                a run without "-c" first and only use it if you are certain,
#                that the mbox in question really needs the "-c" option
#
#  -m            If this is used then the source will
#                be the single mailbox at /var/spool/mail/blah for
#                user blah and the destination mailbox will be the
#                "destdir" mailbox itself.
#
#
#  -s source     Directory or file relative to the user's home directory,
#                which is where the the "somefolders" directories are located.
#                Or if starting with a "/" it is taken as a
#                absolute path, e.g. /mnt/oldmail/user
#
#                or
#
#                A single mbox file which will be converted to
#                the destdir.
#
#  -R		 If defined, do not skip directories found in a mailbox 
#		 directory, but runs recursively into each of them, 
# 		 creating all wanted folders in Maildir.
#		 Incompatible with '-f'
#
#  -f somefolder Directories, relative to "sourcedir" where the Mbox files
#                are. All mailboxes in the "sourcedir"
#                directory will be converted and placed in the
#                "destdir" directory.  (Typically the Inbox directory
#                which in this instance is also functioning as a
#                folder for other mailboxes.)
#
#                The "somefolder" directory
#                name will be encoded into the new mailboxes' names.
#                See the examples below.
#
#                This does not save an UW IMAP dummy message file
#                at the start of the Mbox file.  Small changes
#                in the code could adapt it for looking for
#                other distinctive patterns of dummy messages too.
#
#                Don't let the source directory you give as "somefolders"
#                contain any "."s in its name, unless you want to
#                create subfolders from the IMAP user's point of
#                view.  See the example below.
#
#                Incompatible with '-f'
#
#
#  -d destdir    Directory where the Maildir format directories will be created.
#                If not given, then the destination will be ~/Maildir .
#                Typically, this is what the IMAP server sees as the
#                Inbox and the folder for all user mailboxes.
#                If this begins with a '/' the path is considered to be
#                absolute, otherwise it is relative to the users
#                home directory.
#
#  -r strip_ext  If defined this extension will be stripped from
#                the original mailbox file name before creating
#                the corresponding maildir. The extension must be
#                given without the leading dot ("."). See the example below.
#
#  -l WU-file    File containing the list of subscribed folders.  If
#                migrating from WU-IMAP the list of subscribed folders will
#                be found in the file called .mailboxlist in the users
#                home directory.  This will convert all subscribed folders
#                for a single user:
#                /bin/mb2md -s mail -l .mailboxlist -R -d Maildir
#                and for all users in a directory as root you can do the
#                following:
#                for i in *; do echo $i;su - $i -c "/bin/mb2md -s mail -l .mailboxlist -R -d Maildir";done
#
#
#  Example
#  =======
#
# We have a bunch of directories of Mbox mailboxes located at
# /home/blah/oldmail/
#
#     /home/blah/oldmail/fffff
#     /home/blah/oldmail/ggggg
#     /home/blah/oldmail/xxx/aaaa
#     /home/blah/oldmail/xxx/bbbb
#     /home/blah/oldmail/xxx/cccc
#     /home/blah/oldmail/xxx/dddd
#     /home/blah/oldmail/yyyy/huey
#     /home/blah/oldmail/yyyy/duey
#     /home/blah/oldmail/yyyy/louie
#
# With the UW IMAP server, fffff and ggggg would have appeared in the root
# of this mail server, along with the Inbox.  aaaa, bbbb etc, would have
# appeared in a folder called xxx from that root, and xxx was just a folder
# not a mailbox for storing messages.
#
# We also have the mailspool Inbox at:
#
#     /var/spool/mail/blah
#
#
# To convert these, as user blah, we give the first command:
#
#    mb2md -m
#
# The main Maildir directory will be created if it does not exist.
# (This is true of any argument options, not just "-m".)
#
#    /home/blah/Maildir/
#
# It has the following subdirectories:
#
#    /home/blah/Maildir/tmp/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/new/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/cur/
#
# Then /var/spool/blah file is read, split into individual files and
# written into /home/blah/Maildir/cur/ .
#
# Now we give the second command:
#
#    mb2md  -s oldmail -R
#
# This reads recursively all Mbox mailboxes and creates:
#
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.fffff/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.ggggg/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.xxx/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.xxx.aaaa/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.xxx.bbbb/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.xxx.cccc/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.xxx.aaaa/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.yyyy/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.yyyy.huey/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.yyyy.duey/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.yyyy.louie/
#
#  The result, from the IMAP client's point of view is:
#
#    Inbox -----------------
#        |
#        | fffff -----------
#        | ggggg -----------
#        |
#        - xxx -------------
#        |   | aaaa --------
#        |   | bbbb --------
#        |   | cccc --------
#        |   | dddd --------
#        |
#        - yyyy ------------
#             | huey -------
#             | duey -------
#             | louie ------
#
# Note that although ~/Maildir/.xxx/ and ~/Maildir/.yyyy may appear
# as folders to the IMAP client the above commands to not generate
# any Maildir folders of these names.  These are simply elements
# of the names of other Maildir directories. (if you used '-R', they 
# whill be able to act as normal folders, containing messages AND folders)
#
# With a separate run of this script, using just the "-s" option
# without "-f" nor "-R", it would be possible to create mailboxes which
# appear at the same location as far as the IMAP client is
# concerned.  By having Mbox mailboxes in some directory:
# ~/oldmail/nnn/ of the form:
#
#     /home/blah/oldmail/nn/xxxx
#     /home/blah/oldmail/nn/yyyyy
#
# then the command:
#
#   mb2md -s oldmail/nn
#
# will create two new Maildirs:
#
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.xxx/
#    /home/blah/Maildir/.yyyy/
#
# Then what used to be the xxx and yyyy folders now function as
# mailboxes too.  Netscape 4.77 needed to be put to sleep and given ECT
# to recognise this - deleting the contents of (Win2k example):
#
#    C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\uu\ImapMail\aaa.bbb.ccc\
#
# where "uu" is the user and "aaa.bbb.ccc" is the IMAP server
#
# I often find that deleting all this directory's contents, except
# "rules.dat", forces Netscape back to reality after its IMAP innards
# have become twisted.  Then maybe use File > Subscribe - but this
# seems incapable of subscribing to folders.
#
# For Outlook Express, select the mail server, then click the
# "IMAP Folders" button and use "Reset list".  In the "All"
# window, select the mailboxes you want to see in normal
# usage.
#
#
# This script did not recurse subdirectories or delete old mailboxes, before addition of the '-R' parameter :)
#
# Be sure not to be accessing the Mbox mailboxes while running this
# script.  It does not attempt to lock them.  Likewise, don't run two
# copies of this script either.
#
#
# Trickier usage . . .
# ====================
#
# If you have a bunch of mailboxes in a directory ~/oldmail/doors/
# and you want them to appear in folders such as:
#
# ~/Maildir/.music.bands.doors.Jim
# ~/Maildir/.music.bands.doors.John
#
# etc. so they appear in an IMAP folder:
#
#    Inbox -----------------
#        | music
#              | bands
#                    | doors
#                          | Jim
#                          | John
#                          | Robbie
#                          | Ray
#
# Then you could rename the source directory to:
#
#  ~/oldmail/music.bands.doors/
#
# then use:
#
#   mb2md -s oldmail -f music.bands.doors
#
#
# Or simply use '-R' switch with:
#   mb2md -s oldmail -R
#
#
# Stripping mailbox extensions:
# ============================= 
#
# If you want to convert mailboxes that came for example from
# a Windows box than you might want to strip the extension of
# the mailbox name so that it won't create a subfolder in your
# mail clients view.
#
# Example:
# You have several mailboxes named Trash.mbx, Sent.mbx, Drafts.mbx
# If you don't strip the extension "mbx" you will get the following
# hierarchy:
#
# Inbox
#      |
#       - Trash 
#      |       | mbx
#      |
#       - Sent 
#      |       | mbx
#      |
#       - Drafts 
#              | mbx
#
# This is more than ugly!
# Just use:
#   mb2md -s oldmail -r mbx
#
# Note: don't specify the dot! It will be stripped off
# automagically ;)

                    # having opened the message to see
                    # its contents, rather than just the
                    # IMAP server having been asked to
                    # list the message's Subject etc.

                    # Courier Maildrop's names are similar
