I have made some backup directories of my mail and I have been
experimenting.
For those who understand what they are supposed to look like (maildirs),
after runing this command:
mb2md -s /current_file_location -d /new_file_destination -R
I have this:
/new_file_destination/
/cur
/new
/tmp
/.Business
/cur
/1162256029.000000.mbox:2,S
/.Business_sbd.Awareness Life
/cur
/1162256082.000000.mbox:2,S
What Im getting at is, Im not sure I understand what Im supposed to be
seeing.
It seems that under some of this folders there are /cur with items it
them and under others, there isnt.
I had folders that I used to store mail in when I used Thunderbird and
then later in Evolution. Is this creating a /cur /new and /tmp under
each and every folder?

Im reading this http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ about
converting mbox to maildir.
Some of the locations that it talks about where the program will look
doesn't fit with my system.
All the mail is in /home/user/.evolution/mail/local
Do I just point the source there instead of its normal routine?
