maildir2mbox(1) General Commands Manual maildir2mbox(1)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.

I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am. Before anyone says that's not possible,... (4 Replies)
