KMail in 10.04-4 LTS has reached the end of its life

[Gene Heskett]

It appears that it cannot work with an inbox beyond 2Gb, and has thrown 
away about 20 mails today.  It registers the message, and a bit of who its 
from, but the message is displayed as 0 bytes, isn't shown anyplace but in 
the inboxes contents list, and if after staring at a blank message window, 
I try to + key on past it, kmail takes a dump and exits, the only way I can 
continue is to delete it.

I can copy that file back to var/spool/mail and reprocess it as incoming 
mail to recover it, but first, how can I convert the Inbox from a mailfile 
to a maildir format?  I have mv'd te file in place, and touched a new one, 
but before it gets out of hand again, how to make a maildir out of inbox?

Cheers, Gene
