cPanel mailbox conversion

This service converts a cPanel account backup whose mail is stored in Dovecot's mdbox format into the maildir format an Enhance import expects. Everything else in the backup is passed through untouched.

You need a link

Upload areas are created on request, not self-service. If you are migrating to WebFort, ask your contact for a conversion link — it opens an upload area that belongs only to you and destroys itself a few hours later.

Or do it yourself

If you have shell access to a Linux machine, you can run the same converter locally and never send us your mail at all. It is a single Python file with no dependencies beyond the standard library:

# on any Linux box (as root, with dovecot-core installed for full fidelity)
apt install -y dovecot-core python3
./cpanel-mdbox2maildir.py --report  backup-xxxx.tar.gz   # inspect first
./cpanel-mdbox2maildir.py           backup-xxxx.tar.gz   # convert

Without dovecot-core it still recovers every message, but cannot restore read/unread state. Ask us for a copy of the script.
