# Convert existing maildir to mdbox (local on-fs dirs) with:

# Or, you can pull from a remote site:
# Below, -R means REVERSE backup so PULL messages FROM vorash INTO mdbox,
# otherwise, it's a PUSH backup and mdbox PUSHES to vorash which isn't what we want

#  zero on final delete, it needs some cleanup to rewrite the old
#  pack files without the deleted emails present anymore.)
