Hello,
I have a very large mail archive in maildir format, split in several mailboxes, and I would like to import them one by one in DT. If I select the root of the maildir folder, I get the mailboxes as expected (except that it takes a very long time before I can do anything, this is almost 20 years of email there). If I select a single folder, then the name of the mailbox is guessed wrong.
More precisely, the mail is structured as:
local/cur
local/tmp
local/new
local/.old.1996.11 (with cur, tmp, and new inside)
local/.old.1996.12 (same thing)
…
If I select “local”, I import all the mail and the box names are correctly inferred, after I wait about 10 minutes for DT to be responsive again. If I choose just .old.1996.11, I then get one mailbox per message, with the name of the mailbox being “cur/name_of_the_file”. This is not nice because I need to individually import each file (I cannot select several mailboxes).
Is there a way to only consider the messages in some mailboxes while scanning? I tried using symbolic links, but it did not work.
Thanks,
Alan
