That may suggest its the best way forward. Though, that'll depend on what those problems were, and what your preferred mail client is best at. Long ago I made the move from using mbox to maildir with my Dovecot mail server. Since my mail clients use IMAP to access the mail server, they (should) only temporarily cache what I'm reading, so I don't really care what the mail clients use internally. I looked at scripting to do a conversion, but the documentation was dreadful, and I didn't care for all the experimenting I'd need to do to figure out how to do it. So, I set up the new mail server using maildir, while the old mbox server was still running, and dragged and dropped huge batches of mail from one folder to another through my Evolution mail client. Not the most elegant solution, but damn simple. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
