I just wrote an application that - instead of parsing kmailrc - designed
around the logic of my own needs, outputs procmail recipes,
also 'mailboxes' commands and 'subscribe' commands for .muttrc.
I think that is going to do the build of the work for me.
A side question: I just did a new linux install on a different partition.
I believe that kmail email format is 'maildir'. When I previous used
mutt, I was using an mbox format, so my mbox_type entry in .muttrc
was
set mbox_type="mbox"
Should I just be able to copy the ~/Mail directory currently used by kmail to
the new partition and for .muttrc change the entry to
set mbox_type="maildir" ??
thanks for the interest
