Thanks very much for this. I have found a tool that can convert mh to mailbox: https://github.com/vuntz/mh2maildir/blob/master/mh2maildir It seems to work, but can not handle a second level of subfolders: brings them all out as individual folders at the first level, so Ihave to fix that. Also, I don't like the new folder names, seem too unnecessary for me. (I was expecting to the old MH folder names inside my Maildir.) Also, the mails get stored as something like: 1602799622.116065_21187.hostname:2, not sure if this is the recommended way that files are stored in the Maildir format. I was expecting to have something that I could have control over. I have to look into this some more. I am not sure if this is the standard way to store Maildir format messages.
Maildir has all the folders at the top level with dots to indicate subfolders. And that is also the standard filename format.
One aspect of MH that I have liked is that I pull mail on two machines (using fetchmail via a POP server) and they are assigned the same filenames (numbers). Then, if I use rsync with delete, I can delete the corresponding message in the remote machine if I have deleted it on my local machine. It has worked like a charm over the past 15 years (I would say).
That sounds either amazingly risky or it's a one-way sync and what's the point of having the email on the remote machine?
