Re: [TCLUG:20298] Large mbox file into seperate email messages



If I recall correctly, you are familiar with qmail.

There is a package on the qmail site (qmail.org) that will convert a
mbox file to a Maildir.  It is called mbox2maildir.  If you then need
to reassemble some of those messages into a mbox file, there is a
maildir2mbox utility that comes with qmail.

Be forewarned that the mbox2maildir does delete the original file when
it is done.
