I have the following mbox file: /home/incoming/test_data/example_data/.transaction_emails_mbox. I want to move the emails in the mbox file to Maildir at the following directory, where all the user's other emails are: /home/incoming/Maildir/cur/. Here's what I've tried so far:
- Using
mb2md. After running these commands, IMAP isn't identifying the 12 emails contained in the mbox file. I assume each of the 12 emails should be broken out into a separate file in Maildir/cur/, like the retrieved emails are (files 1665330972.V100009I72061dM278387.c376368dc6f0:2,S and 1665331905.V100008I72061eM806057.c376368dc6f0:2,S) .
root@c376368dc6f0:/# su - incoming
incoming@c376368dc6f0:~$ mb2md -s test_data/example_data/ -d Maildir/cur/

- Using the commands described in the dovecot wiki. I don't know how to approach that error.

dsync(incoming): Error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)
Am I totally off track? Any advice is appreciate!
