I've been looking for one of these for years!

http://parthe.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/yahoo2mbox.html

It even un-munges the e-mail addresses!! YAAAAY!

There are two non-trivial bugs in it. Here's the mail I sent him:

Problems:

You have $mboxname |= $groupname; where you mean to use ||=.

Secondly, it didn't actually handle the advertising redirects at
all!

Changing:

# go to the new page
if ( $url ) {
$request->uri($url);
$response = $ua->simple_request($request);
}

To:


# go to the new page
if ( $url ) {
$request->uri($url);
$response = $ua->simple_request($request);
$request->uri($msgUrl);
$response = $ua->simple_request($request);
}


Around line 926 seems to fix this.

It appears to do advertising redirects on every message that is 0 mod 4, btw.

By the way, I'm *very* impressed at your ability to unmangle the e-mail
addresses! Way to go! (Even if it's not you that figured it out. 8).
