opening IMAP's sent messages file on apple mail or thunderbird
I took a copy of 'Sent' from my home directory's mail folder before my account was closed. My thunderbird was saving a copy of sent messages at the imap server in this directory.
Problem is that the format of this file is slightly different from the typical mbox file (the date is on a separate row). Therefore i am unable to import them to a mail client like apple mail or thunderbird. What can I do ?
