While I gave up local mails and subordinated entirely to google meanwhile, my partner still wants to be independant and prefers local mails. Since KMail seemst to be wrecked, I have to migrate her mails to the old mbox format of thunderbird. This one-command-recipe worked for me. I replaced Archive/ by e.g. .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox and sarchive by sMBOXinbox. To import MBOXinbox they simply have to be copied to ~/.thunderbird/.....default/Mail/Local\ Folders .
Converting Maildir to mbox via muttRan into an issue today where I needed to convert a Maildir containing over 50k messages to mbox format and couldn’t really find any good tools. So I found this blog post about using mutt to do it. Unfortunately, it converted one Maildir to another. =( One crucial piece is missing, so here is the one-liner in all its glory:
$ mutt -f Archive/ -e 'set mbox_type=mbox; set confirmcreate=no; \
set delete=no; push "T.*;sarchive "'
The above converts the Maildir Archive/ to the mbox named archive. It also makes the assumption that mbox_type is set to Maildir (which is how I have it configured; if it wasn’t for that, the default is mbox and that’s what it would have created, but I changed the default to Maildir, hence the need to be specific). Line break was added for clarity.

A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera. Superb Blog!

I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "migrating from kmail to thunderbird" is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo's front page and note
how they write article titles to get people interested.
You might add a video or a pic or two to get people excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.
