I have setup some procmail recipes to filter emails into particular
Maildir folders. This works perfectly for any new email that I receive.
I would like to be able to filter all of my existing email through
procmail so that they too can be placed in the appropriate Maildir folders.
I used formail to do this with the command 'formail -s procmail <
/path/to/an/email'. This worked well but unfortunately none of the
Maildir status flags were preserved (as I expected). For example 'D' for
draft messages, 'R' for messages I have replied to, 'S' for messages I
have seen etc. For now I am using my IMAP client to manually move emails
to the correct Maildir folder. Is there a way I can automate this using
formail/procmail and still preserve any of the Maildir status flags?
Only with a highly complex script...
I have done this for some years at the french army for 27.000 users
on around 70 Mail-Servers with over 300.000.000 messages...
The script was running some weeks...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
