dovecot - Jun 2010 - importing outlook express messages to dovecot imap server

Hi,

I have a local Dovecot 1.1.4 running. I have a big number of outlook express
messages that I like to put into Maildir so that I can use Dovecot's imap to
access. I can convert them into mbox format. any available means for me to
import outlook express/mbox messages into Maildir/Dovecot? command line will be
preferred, Thanks,

Angelo

Perhaps you can first convert them to mbox and then to Maildir. See:

just a thought:
1. add imap account to outlook express
2. copy all mails from the local mailbox to the imap folder

might be the fastest way.
