maildir2mbox(1)
NAME
maildir2mbox - move mail from a maildir to an mbox
SYNOPSIS
maildir2mbox
DESCRIPTION
maildir2mbox moves mail from a maildir-format directory to
an mbox-format file.
You must supply three environment variables to
maildir2mbox: MAILDIR is the name of your maildir direc
tory; MAIL is the name of your mbox file; and MAILTMP is a
temporary file that maildir2mbox can overwrite. MAILTMP
and MAIL must be on the same filesystem.
maildir2mbox is reliable: it will not remove messages from
MAILDIR until the messages have been successfully appended
to MAIL.
maildir2mbox locks MAIL to protect against simultaneous
access by a mail reader. This locking system does not
protect against simultaneous access by another
maildir2mbox; you should run only one maildir2mbox at a
time.
