Hi
I have downloaded archives from a mailing list (in mbox format) and
would like to import them into gnus.
Is there any way that I can do this from gnus?
Thanks,
Rainer

OK - I converted them into maildir format and now I will put them into
dovecot.

OK - solved it.
Here my solution:
,----
| 1) I downloaded a script is from
| [[https://github.com/igor47/mailtools/blob/master/mbox2maildir.py]] and
| named it =conv.pl=
|
| 2) I run it together with =find= to iterate through all mbox files
|
| mkdir ./Maildir
| find . -name "MATCHING_THE_MBOX_FILES" -exec ./conv.pl {} ./Maildir/ \;
|
|
| 3) The files are created in =./Maildir/new=.
|
| 4) I then moved them to my maildir used by dovecot
|
| mv ./Maildir/new ~/Maildir/TARGETFOLDER/new
`----
And in gnus they showed op as new mails in the maildir.
Cheers,
Rainer

I've never tried this, but:
G F <name-of-mbox-file>
should open the mbox file as an ephemeral nndoc group, and then you can
mark and move/copy the articles to a different group (eg. on an IMAP
server).

I've used that a bunch of times - it has worked well for me.
Just a data point,

I am sure that it works (I tried it as well) but it takes ages to open
an mbox file with thousands of emails - so no option if 100 mbx files
are involved.
But I managed using another script (see my other post)

Ahh, I misread - I thought it was one mbox with 100 emails in...
With 100 files, something more automated is definitely preferable.
(Altough in a pinch, a keyboard macro might be doable ;-))

Cool!
Best regards,
