NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     to_imap - copy mail folders to Netscape Messenger IMAP location

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /var/netscape/communicator/to_imap

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     to_imap copies files and directories from a specified folder directory
     such as $HOME/Mail	or $HOME/nsmail, to the	IMAP folder directory,
     typically $HOME/imap.  Use	this program if	you will be using the IMAP
     server from University of Washington.  This server	can be found in	the
     June 1998 Edition of SGI Freeware.	 Do not	use this program if you	will
     be	using Netscape Messaging Server	because	the folder structure is
     different in the Netscape Messaging Server.

     If	the current folders are	not on the same	system as the IMAP server,
     they must be moved	or copied over to the IMAP server first	before this
     script can	be run.	 This script should be run on the system that is
     running your IMAP server.

     to_imap does not alter or delete any files	in the original	folder
     directory.	 If the	folder already exists in $HOME/imap, the folder	will
     not be copied over	and a message will be displayed.  Files	in detach.dir
     and index.dir directories will not	be copied over.	 If there are spaces
     or	periods	in the original	folder name, each space	and period will	be
     converted to an underscore. If the	folder name is "Trash",	"Outbox",
     "Inbox", "Drafts",	or "Unsent Messages", the folder name will have
     "_folder" appended	to it because these are	special	folders	in Netscape
     Messenger.
