maildir2mbox's Issues

Stray *.sbd folders

Hi, I am using this very nice tool to convert a batch of old directories with mail in Maildir format to a mailbox format for archiving. However, I have noticed that each conversion leaves a *.sbd directory around. Is this intentional? The original tool by Frederic would remove the directory.

Dear bluebird75,
The script is throwing an error.

Is there any way to fix it?

recursivity doesn't place subfolders inside parent folders when using "official" structure

Hello,

first thank you for this script! I had a much harder time than expected to import maildir into Thunderbird without a detour through an imap server, and this script is the one I found!

I use the latest version 1.0 from april 21st of 2020, and I have the "official" maildir format (screenshot)
Screenshot_20221222_152146
When using maildir2mbox.py -r Maildir_old/ mboxX (using 22.04 and python 3.10.6), I get

maildir2mbox_orig.py -r Maildir_old/ mboxX
ERROR 15:32:49 Missing `new` and/or `cur` subdirectories in path Maildir_old, aborting conversion
15:32:49 Maildir_old/.HO restructuring -> mboxX.sbd/HO restructuring
15:32:49 Processing 77 messages in Maildir_old/.HO restructuring
15:32:49 Maildir_old/.HO restructuring.AS -> mboxX.sbd/HO restructuring.AS #<-- the folder should be calld AS.sbd and be in HO restructuring
15:32:49 Processing 16 messages in Maildir_old/.HO restructuring.AS #<-- the emails should be moved inside HO restructuring/ in a file AS
15:32:49 Done with 1 errors. # can be ignored I think

I also tested it with the provided test_data and if I e.g. move the .coincoin folder to the same level as the .INBOX.toto folder (and rename it to .INBOX.toto.coucou) it also wrongly gets placed next to .INBOX.toto (and not inside .INBOX.toto).

I think the problem lies in maildir_sub_path (? or of course, I wrongly apply the script) and I tried to debug it in an online python debugger but had troubles getting the correct variable (path info) of maildir_path to be used. I'm happy to investigate further, e.g. if somebody tells me how I can use a variable depending on a local folder inside an online debugger.

Error when running on Ubuntu 18.04

I get the following when running python maildir2mbox --help:
