Subject: moving from nnml to nnimap
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:55:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86ipvl5vfi.fsf@red.stonehenge.com> (raw)


I have about 300 nnml groups, some dating back a decade or so.

I'd like to move them to IMAP, so I can get to them offbox and also
with Mail.app on my iphone.

I already have my incoming mail split to both
.incoming/[nnml-group-name] and IMAP folders, and I can see
nnimap+localhost:INBOX just fine.

First, is there info in the nnml format (like marks) that I'll lose when
I go to nnimap?

Second, is there an easy way to take everything from nnml:MUMBLE and
move it to nnimap:MUMBLE while retaining as much meta-info as possible?

Thanks.
