UW-IMAP style mbox snarfing from /var/mail/ to ~/mbox
=====================================================
This configuration will move messages from '/var/mail/%u' to '~/mbox':
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
plugin {
# add only the mbox file path here, no mbox: prefix.
mbox_snarf = ~/mbox
}
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = mbox_snarf
}
protocol pop3 {
mail_plugins = mbox_snarf
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If '~/mbox' doesn't exist, nothing special is done.
If '~/mbox' exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from
'/var/mail/%u' whenever the mailbox is synchronized.
Before v1.1.8 if all the messages couldn't be moved because quota exceeded,
then none of the messages were moved. v1.1.8+ just moves those messages it
managed to move before running out of quota.
It's not possible to do snarfing between different mailbox formats. That would
require a redesign of the plugin.
