SYNOPSIS

       maildir2mbox

DESCRIPTION

       maildir2mbox moves mail from a maildir-format directory to an mbox-for-
       mat file.

       You must	supply three environment variables to maildir2mbox: MAILDIR is
       the name	of your	maildir	directory; MAIL	is the name of your mbox file;
       and MAILTMP is  a  temporary  file  that	 maildir2mbox  can  overwrite.
       MAILTMP and MAIL	must be	on the same filesystem.

       maildir2mbox  is	 reliable:  it	will  not remove messages from MAILDIR
       until the messages have been successfully appended to MAIL.

       maildir2mbox locks MAIL to protect against  simultaneous	 access	 by  a
       mail reader.  This locking system does not protect against simultaneous
       access by another maildir2mbox; you should run only one maildir2mbox at
       a time.
