I've tried this with fairly large spool files, on Evolution (painfully slow, and needs doing in chunks - select a month's mail, drag and drop it between folders), and Thunderbird (eventually fails part way through, even in chunks, with no clue as to how far along it got). So I'd like to find a good tool for doing this, too. -rw------- 1 tim tim 663987436 2010-03-05 18:21 /home/tim/mail/lists/Fedora Thanks to the slowness (the above would take hours and hours), I've left my mail server still running on FC4. The last attempt at moving the mail, aborted because I simply don't have the time to babysit a machine for that amount of time, I copied the spool file onto a newly set up CentOS box as /var/mail/tim and tried dragging the contents of the inbox to another folder through the IMAP server on the CentOS box, figuring that that'd be quicker that trying to network it between two mail servers. It was still excruciatingly painfully slow. I want to move from spool files to maildir, because it's getting impossible to use with huge spool files. Any status change of the spool file takes ages to complete, and you can't do anything else while you wait (e.g. you can't read another message). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
