+ ── Convert MBOX to Maildir using FDM ──
+
+
+I recently downloaded a bunch of old mailing list archives from Alpine
+Linux that I want to merge with my current archives. The problem being
+my current archives were in Maildir format while the Alpine Linux
+archives were in MBOX.
+
+Since I already use FDM for fetching my mail as well as converting RSS
+feeds I just went with that, this is how:
+
+
+ $ cat archive
+
+ $listdir= "%h/.mail/alpine.users" # where to save the maildir
+ $mbox= "%h/tmp/alpine-users.mbox" # the local mbox location
+
+ # the local mbox file
+ account "convert" mbox "$mbox"
+ action "convert" maildir "${listdir}"
+ match all action "convert"
+
+
+then just run FDM with the above configuration file:
+
+ $ fdm -f archive fetch
