I'm still working on recovering from the botched conversion from kmail to kmail2, which unfortunately did not preserve the original files. As a result, I've had to work on the file level, carefully going through the directory tree to fix things that are not right.
A key tool is a good way to convert mbox files to maildir files, in a form that kmail2 accepts. Using Google I found many pointers to the Perl program mb2md, and tried using it. At first it seemed to be working, producing the correct lists of messages. But on further examination I found that it was screwing up: all the message bodies were empty even though a textual examination of the messages showed that the message bodies were there.
I assume that something like this is built into the migrator, but is there a standalone program around for doing this conversion? Ideally, it would operate on a directory tree recursively as mb2md does.
