    Hello Mark,
    Is UID+ support on the road map for UW IMAP? I have a lot of Eudora users
    asking for it as Eudora's Spam filtering requires it. I am not a big
    Eudora fan, you have to respect what you users require.

    UIDPLUS is supported in imap-2006.

    Last night's imap-2006 tarball contains the mix driver. However, I don't
    recommend anything other than experimentation with it (that's all that I'm
    doing right now). It still needs considerable debugging and tuning.

    imap-2006 is still a DEV release. Any timetable for the stable
    release? (or how stable is the DEV release)?

    There's no release timetable (yet), and it's not stable.

    It's made available for experts to experiment; it should not be run in
    production. The big things are UIDPLUS, greatly expanded Unicode support,
    and mix. There's also some new code to greatly reduce the memory
    footprint when reading large messages in mbx format. The RELNTES have
    more detail.

    Bottom line: imap-2006 will be a major update. It is still a work in
    progress.

    There's a major update to Pine in progress as well. The two will be
    released together, as has been our practice for the past several years.

    Hello,

    Goal: take an "mbx" folder and convert it to a set of files, one per
    message, in "eml" format (i.e. unix format with 1 message per file).

    I know this could be done several ways running IMAP and pulling down
    the messages and saving the source, or converting the mbx folder to unix
    and splitting it on "^From ".

    However, I wondered if there is another simpler way? I am interested in
    speed and I efficiency here. I.e. lets say you have 10,000 or more
    messages in a large folder. A conversion from mbx to unix by itself takes a
    significant amount of resources.

    Does anyone have another idea of doing this conversion, using uw
    imap/cclient tools?

    Thank you,

    The UW c-client "mx" mailbox is a one-file-per-message format.
    You could use mailutil to copy a "mbx" mailbox to a "mx" mailbox
    and end up with your file-per-message. I don't know the ".eml" format
    specs so I cannot tell you how close "mx" is to ".eml" but you
    could try a test case and see.
