=head1 NAME

mbox2maildir - convert an mbox to a maildir using Python's libraries

=head1 SYNOPSIS

mbox2maildir MBOX MAILDIR

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<mbox2maildir> converts an mbox to a maildir.  It is a very simple
wrapper around Python's mailbox library.  The maildir may already
exist, in which case the messages in the mbox are added to the
maildir.

B<mbox2maildir> is an alternative to the venerable B<mb2md>, which
fails to process some mboxes that are out there.

=head1 OPTIONS

None.

=head1 BUGS

Hopefully different to those of B<mb2md>.

=head1 SEE ALSO

mb2md(1), mbox(5), maildir(5)

=head1 AUTHOR

B<mbox2maildir> was written by Sean Whitton
<spwhitton@spwhitton.name>.  The suggestion of using the Python
mailbox library for this purpose is due to Daniel Kahn Gillmor.
