osso-email to claws-mail mailbox conversion

To convert and copy emails from osso-email to claws-mail, first download this script. In an xterm, launch it with the name of an existing mailbox folder as a parameter.

Example : In claws-mail you have a mailbox named "foo". For this mailbox, a directory "foo" exists in your home directory : ~/foo/

Assume that back.sh is downloaded in the "./MyDocs/.documents/" directory and that the ~/foo/ directory also exists.

Launch the script using:

chmod +x ./MyDocs/.documents/back.sh
./MyDocs/.documents/back.sh foo

Each mailbox in osso-email, and the mail they contain, is copied to the ~/foo directory and the sub-directories are created.
When the script has completed, start Claws Mail again, tap-and-hold the mailbox folder chosen above, and choose "Check for new folders". The folder "osso_to_claws" should appear, containing your Osso emails.
