Hi all, |
| 2 |

Recently I've been messing around with clamscan on my system and |
| 4 |
checking all my files. Anyway, clamscan found some things in my |
| 5 |
thunderbird files. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Thunderbird currently uses mbox format for storing emails. The clamscan |
| 8 |
info I've read says it stops at the first positive hit in an mbox file. |
| 9 |
The only way to find which email, and all the emails, is by converting |
| 10 |
(a copy) to maildir format. Then I can scan that, then delete the |
| 11 |
offending email from the mbox file from within thunderbird. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So far I've found mb2md (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/) |
| 14 |
which returns: |
| 15 |
paul@Robotech ~/mboxwork $ ./mb2md-3.20.pl -s Inbox |
| 16 |
Fatal: Source is not an mbox file or a directory! |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Using less verifies that it is the actual mailbox. I've tried renaming |
| 19 |
to Inbox.mbx, even making a copy of the entire tree and working inside |
| 20 |
that. I still get the same message. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Any ideas? |
