'Sup?
I had large Thunderbird files to import. Similar to other reports here,
importing the files as mboxes didn't work for me.
I converted the mboxes to maildirs using mb2md, and then imported, and all
was well.
I'm pretty new to Linux and Ruby with aspirations to be proficient in both.
I was thrilled to find Sup. I had so been longing for a different email
experience, and so far Sup is giving me what I needed, plus it's written in
Ruby. Yahoo!
Cheers,
Dave

I added a guide for ThunderbirdImport to the wiki. As I'm just a newb, I
hope everyone will feel free to improve on its format, language, and
details. I included some ruby commands I used in irb to automate some of
the steps. I'm relatively a ruby newb too, so I would enjoy seeing
improvements there as well.
Cheers,
Dave
