I'm archiving email in both mbox and maildir formats.  I'm looking for a
way to read the maildir archives on a Windows system.  I haven't been
able to find any clients that can do that directly so I was thinking
about just reading them via the imap server.   Problem is the file names
don't match what my maildirs look like.


My archive directory created with MailScanner looks like:

0654B1312B3.9394D  63AC812F683.5909B  8625A12F6F5.BAFDB 
D348B12F6F5.DD8F2
0855112F683.59A9B  6456312F683.16A49  8D74212F6F5.C1600 
DA6B11312FA.EE0C3
250B81312EE.00033  682011312B3.29C63  8E0C612F6F5.D1A24 
DAC1C12F683.D7BB8
393AA12F683.5C082  826A812F683.2C714  9A1EF12F683.A362D
5967F12F683.0625A  8542C13134B.62B8A  A90981312B3.A4C0E



And a sample maildir on my system looks like:

x3 .SimpleShare # ls -la
total 32
drwx------   6 vmail 35003 4096 May  6 12:17 .
drwx------  21 vmail 35003 4096 Aug  5 13:53 ..

I need a way to get the filenames and direcotyr structure setup in a way
that the IMAP server can serve the messages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bill
