UW-IMAP style mbox snarfing from /var/mail/ to ~/mbox
2
=====================================================
4
This configuration will move messages from '/var/mail/%u' to '~/mbox':
6
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
7
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
10
# add only the mbox file path here, no mbox: prefix.
15
mail_plugins = mbox_snarf
18
mail_plugins = mbox_snarf
20
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
22
If '~/mbox' doesn't exist, nothing special is done.
24
If '~/mbox' exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from
25
'/var/mail/%u' whenever the mailbox is synchronized.
27
Before v1.1.8 if all the messages couldn't be moved because quota exceeded,
28
then none of the messages were moved. v1.1.8+ just moves those messages it
29
managed to move before running out of quota.
31
It's not possible to do snarfing between different mailbox formats. That would
32
require a redesign of the plugin.
