need to access old maildir


Here's a long shot but in short I messed up!

I have just backed up a Mandrake 9 server which was running Qmail. I have then rebuilt using FC7 and postfix/dovecot. (I now prefer postfix!)

Now I exported the emails from the users into Outlook's PST file format, however i forgot to download all folders on one account, so my inbox is complete, but the folders within only have message headers as they were set to download when required.

So is there a way i can export the available maildir into the current mbox, or import into Outlook and then move over to the new imap structure?

Regards

You need to do an offline download of the mailbox then copy between mailboxes using Outlook Express. I've heard of perl scripts that can do this.
