While I agree in theory that the "MailDir" format is superior, this pro- bably would become the main show-stopper: I have zillions of "mbox" type mail folders spread all over my home directory which I'd have to con- vert. Well, I think a simple "gawk" script could do the trick, but this would have to be done in addition to the migration proper. By the way, how does "NotMuch" choose the file names? > But you need offlineimap or mbsync to sync email up and > down. Is "POP3" supported? Decades ago I opted for "POP3" because "IMAP" (at least then) was unable to do things the way I wanted them done. I'm not even sure I could still find the reasons for this decision in my notes or documentation ... :-/ Sincerely, Rainer
