I have recently written a Perl script to synchronize my MH hierarchy with a Maildir++. since MH and Maildir++ both keep messages in separate files, this could be implemented entirely using hard links so it takes little hard drive space and runs quickly (for a Perl script). A message can be added to or removed from any folder in either hierarchy and the change will be propagated to the other hierarchy. Maildir flags are mapped into a subset of MH sequences. I am an exmh user and every time I've tried to move away from it, I've become frustrated with the poor job other MUAs do handling a mail hierarchy as complex as mine. On the other hand, the ability to occasionally access my email from a fully MIME-savvy mail reader on either my PC or my Mac can be very useful. This script allows me to go back and forth between MH and IMAP environments with ease. I couldn't get an MH-based IMAP server to work, so I did this instead. Besides, my other users are using a courier-imap and I didn't really want to run another IMAP server on a funny port just for me. I run this on my mail server every 2 minutes with cron. I'd appreciate any comments or patches. Chris
