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.

incm - Incorporating new mails for Mew
SYNOPSIS
incm [options]
DESCRIPTION
The incm utility incoporates new mails from the mbox or the maildir to Mew's inbox folder.
The options are as follows:
-a Retrieve all mails from maildir/{cur,new} for maildir.
-b Backup mails. mbox: No truncate mbox file. maildir: To maildir/cur directory.
-c Use the Content-Length: field, instead of the "From " line, as a mail separator for mbox.
-d path Path to mbox/maildir. If path is a file, mbox is assumed. If path is a directory, maildir is assumed.
-m path The same as the -d option.
-s Read one mail from stdin instead of mbox/maildir.
-i inboxdir
A path to the inbox directory.
-h Display this help message.
-v Display the version.
mbox
For mbox, the mail separator is "From " in the beginning of lines. The incm utility does not convert ">From " to "From " in the beginning
of lines in the body. On Solaris, Content-Length: should be used with the -c option to tell the end of mail.
To lock mbox, both a lock file("user.lock") and flock() (or lockf(), or open(LOCK_EX) are used.
maildir
For maildir, no lock and no separator are necessary.
Consider the following situation:
cur/{1,2}
new/{3,4}
Executing incm without the options results in:
cur/{1,2}
new/{}
to inbox: {3,4}
Executing incm with the -a option results in:
cur/{}
new/{}
to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
Executing incm with the -b option results in:
cur/{1,2,3,4}
new/{}
to inbox: {3,4}
Executing incm with the -a option and the -b otpion results in:
cur/{1,2,3,4}
new/{}
to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
So, if both options are specified, messages are retrieved multiple times.
