Default Migrating/importing from mbox files

On some reflection, the easiest way to get a tree of non-Exchange folders imported into a Zimbra account seems to be by pointing something at them that can also do client-side IMAP.

I expected that search to take forever, but I got lucky on the first hit.

I have not yet tested that script, and I'm going to look for a few more, but if someone who knows what they're talking about could scope it out for sanity, that'd be real cool. :-)

I had the python script written up to append to that thread, and apparently didn't hit send.

"Forward" makes me nervous: that implies a level of processing to RFC 2822 messages that "Sync" doesn't, and it's the latter I'm looking for.

I will investigate the code on that page, and likely test some of it tomorrow.

So, if I screw up my mailbox, how do I recover it from a backup? :-)
