Description:

Convert your emails folders in mailbox format to maildirs.
Currently mb2md.pl has the following features:

* converting the user's main mailbox that is referenced by the ENV variable
  $MAIL
* converting a single mailbox into corresponding maildir
* converting multiple mailboxes in a directory into corresponding maildirs
* recursive operation on a given directory to convert the complete mail
  storage of one user
* replaces all occurrences of dots ('.') in a mailbox name by underscores ('_')
* is able to handle spaces in mailbox names
* is able to handle leading/trailing spaces in mailbox names
* converts mbox files in DOS format (CRLF) to Unix file format
* can strip an extension (e.g. ".mbx") from a mailbox name prior to converting
* uses the Content-Length: header if told to
* removal of dummy message that a couple of IMAP servers (e.g. UW-IMAPD) put at
  the beginning of a mailbox
* removal of the "From " line that starts every mail in a mailbox
* removal of the special escape character (>) that the MTA puts in front of
  lines starting with "From " other than the first line
* setting the file date of a converted message according to the date found in
  the "From " line of the original mail
* setting the flags F,R,S,T (flagged, replied, seen, deleted) on the filename
  of the converted message according to the flags found in 
  "Status:"/"X-Status:"/"X-Mozilla-Status:"/"X-Evolution:" headers of the
  original mail
