I'm cleaning up some old Maildir folders, and finding messages with names like: 1095812260.M625118P61205V0300FF04I002DC537_0.redoak.cise.ufl.edu,S=2576:2,ST They don't show up in my IMAP client, so I presume there's some semaphore indicating the message already got moved somewhere else. Is that the case, and can the files be deleted wi...
Hello, I have the followign bash script to update mtimes for maildir files: #!/bin/bash for i in /test/emailfile do date=$(sed -n '/Received: from/ { :a; n; /;/ {s/.*; //p;q}; b a }' "$i") newdate=$(date -d "$date" +'%Y%m%d%H%M.%S') touch -t "$newdate" "$i" done This script has always worked fine, with standard headers ...
I recently asked this question and worked out that the reason a single email message is displaying out of order is not in fact because of the date, but because of the order of the messages. I would like to modify my script to make sure all messages are in the correct order, but am unsure how to do this. Is it just based on the order in w...

I am using PHP's IMAP functions to parse mail in a POP3 mailbox, parsing out the attachments. After reading the attachments, I need to move the file to another mailbox. Since POP3 mailboxes don't support imap_mail_move, I'm having to come up with another solution. Well, my mail is in MailDir format so I know I can get to the actual mail...
I'm using the Perl module Mail::Box::Manager to read messages from a Maildir and move them into another directory.

I don't want the script remo...
