<p>
This script works on Mozilla Thunderbird email stores, and attempts to upload the emails to an IMAP server. Right now, it's not finished, in that it doesn't upload the top-level emails (ie mails from Inbox, Sent etc). It handles subfolders of those just fine.
</p>
<p>
There's slso some dirty hackery to munge folder paths for dovecot. YMMV
</p>
<p>
<strong>Update:</strong> Fixed now, ie it correctly parses email in top-level folders. I'd still call it a quick-and-dirty script though.
