Poco General FAQ - Importing Messages from a non-RFC822 Compliant EMail Client

Q: Is there any way to import messages from the xxxx mail client? I am considering changing to Poco, but have been using xxxx for several years, as you can imagine, I have a lot of messages to import. The messages are stored in a directory structure with one message per file.
 
A: The email client you used to use is definitely not RFC822 complaint so the Poco import tools will not work, nor is it likely that you can import the messages into another email client and then export them to Poco.

It might be possible to write a Poco script to import the messages but it would be a challenging exercise. You could point the script to a directory and have it get a list of the files in the directory and then process them.
