Does anyone know of a perl script that will pop3 all the messages
out of a given account and then SMTP them into a different account?
What I am doing is upgrading email servers and I need to move all
the email out of the old server into the new one.
For a "pre-made" solution, go to
http://freshmeat.net. You may find
something there.
If you want to write your own, use Net:
OP3 and Net::SMTP.
If you work for a company and use a *NIX host system, have you used a
test box to see what happens when you use the /var/spool directory for
both SMTP servers apps? It _may_ not be a requirement to move the
files at all. For example, when going from sendmail to postfix, it's
mentioned in the FAQ on how to do this.
Maybe you're really looking at moving email from one service such as
Yahoo to Netscape or HotMail, in which case you can visit
http://search.cpan.org and search for modules that deal with web based
email -or- use Net:
OP3, Net::SMTP, and LWP. You _may_ run into
issues though, because _some_ web based email requires that you have
JavaScript enabled to view the mail (because they use JSP or an applet
to maintain state between pages you view). I don't think LWP fits the
