Re: ideas on splitting mail saved by Outlook to IMAP folder

Sur 2006-05-29, Gerald V. Livingston II skribis:

Look at Dovecot. Outlook doesn't write ANYTHING to the IMAP 
mail store. The IMAP server does that (unless you are remote 
mounting the mbox folder via NFS and letting Outlook muck 
around on a non-native filesystem).

Outlook may send a final blank line but maybe Dovecot can be 
tweaked to look for that and correct it.


Also, you might want to use a tool that speaks IMAP to prune your 
mailboxes. One possibility is mailutil, which ships with UW IMAP 
and Pine, and is described here:

  <http://www.washington.edu/pine/man/#mailutil>

Dovecot might ship with its own IMAP pruning utility -- I suggest 
asking in the Dovecot group.

Hope this helps,
