NAME
       maildir2mbox - move mail from a maildir to an mbox


SYNOPSIS
       maildir2mbox


DESCRIPTION
       maildir2mbox moves mail from a maildir-format directory to an mbox-format file.

       You  must  supply  three  environment  variables  to  maildir2mbox:  MAILDIR  is the name of your maildir
       directory; MAIL is the name of your mbox file; and MAILTMP is a  temporary  file  that  maildir2mbox  can
       overwrite.  MAILTMP and MAIL must be on the same filesystem.

       maildir2mbox  is  reliable:  it  will  not  remove  messages  from  MAILDIR  until the messages have been
       successfully appended to MAIL.

       maildir2mbox locks MAIL to protect against simultaneous access by a mail  reader.   This  locking  system
       does  not  protect  against  simultaneous  access  by  another  maildir2mbox;  you  should  run  only one
       maildir2mbox at a time.
