NAME
       maildir2mbox - move mail from a maildir to an mbox

SYNOPSIS
       maildir2mbox

DESCRIPTION
       maildir2mbox moves mail from a maildir-format directory to an mbox-format file.

       You  must  supply three environment variables to maildir2mbox: MAILDIR is the name of your maildir directory; MAIL is the name of your mbox
       file; and MAILTMP is a temporary file that maildir2mbox can overwrite.  MAILTMP and MAIL must be on the same filesystem.

       maildir2mbox is reliable: it will not remove messages from MAILDIR until the messages have been successfully appended to MAIL.

       maildir2mbox locks MAIL to protect against simultaneous access by a mail reader.  This locking system does not protect against simultaneous
       access by another maildir2mbox; you should run only one maildir2mbox at a time.
