NAME

lei-convert - one-time conversion from one mail format to another

SYNOPSIS

lei convert -o OUTPUT [OPTIONS] LOCATION

lei convert -o OUTPUT [OPTIONS] (--stdin|-)

DESCRIPTION

Convert messages to another format. "LOCATION" is a source of messages: a directory (Maildir), a file (various mbox), or a URL ("imap://", "imaps://", "nntp://", or "nntps://"). URLs requiring authentication use git-credential(1) to fill in the username and password.

For a regular file, the location must have a "<format>:" prefix specifying one of the following formats: "mboxrd", "mboxcl2", "mboxcl", or "mboxo".

OPTIONS

-F MAIL_FORMAT
--in-format=MAIL_FORMAT: Message input format. Unless messages are given on stdin, using a format prefix with "LOCATION" is preferred.

The following options are also supported and are described in lei-q(1).
