6 Maildir output - ID: 1091540
Last Update: Comment added ( kartar )

Could you please add a command line option to the
program to allow it to output one mail per file instead of
the mbox format?

That way we could use gotmail with maildir-format mails.

Thanks.

I absolutely like to second the comment by Paul (pghmfc).
In my opinion we should stick to a 'minimal' gotmail, and
leave the other functionality to other programs, that mostly
exist.
Also the discussion about usage with this or that mail
reader should be shortcircuited according to me.

As an illustration I give my setup :

gotmail -> procmail -> /var/spool/mail/* mailboxes
Then a pop3 server is running on /var/spool/mail/.
Whatever pop3 client can now connect and do whatever he wants.
I did not find any combination of users, clients that didn't
work well that way.

BR,

Jos

There's no need to reinvent the wheel here. Gotmail already
supports delivery via procmail, and procmail supports maildir.

Adding maildir support would make it easier to use with
sylpheed. I'd like this too.

Well, it would still be in the mbox format but only one
email per mbox, right? We dont' want to make some new
standard...

Unless, these email dumps are just like text file dumps of
the content per message.

Cool...sounds good otherwise.

I believe this belongs in the 920478 and 1265928 series :
converters as separate programs.

I've been thinking about this one for a while. I think a
mail-dir format would be a good thing to have.
