TOIMAP(1) TOIMAP(1)
NAME
to_imap - copy mail folders to Netscape Messenger IMAP location
SYNOPSIS
/var/netscape/communicator/toimap
DESCRIPTION
toimap 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.
toimap 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.
