There is a Courier-IMAP server set up that stores mail in the Maildir format. I have shell access to the IMAP server. I have all my mailboxes stored on my home directory in MH format and wish to move all my mail to the IMAP server. As I see it I have several possible ways to do this. 1. I can change all my mail splitting rules to sort to IMAP folders, and then respool all folders in Gnus. 2. I can manually copy each folder's content to IMAP folder in Gnus. 3. I can login to a shell on the IMAP server and run this script on each folder: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/mh2maildir What is especially important to me is to keep all the flags on the messages (really only the A and R flags). Recent experiences with the respool folder function (M P b B r) does not keep the flags. What do you suggest I do to move my mail so that I can keep my flags? -- Regards, Lars Tobias Børsting
