Hallo,

did anyone please have a hint for other helpful Maildir tools, to check for errors ?
I have a problem with "corrupted messages" during IMAP migration from one provider to another one.
But I don't know how to find these messages and how to see what is corrupt.

?

Regards,

Thomas

Is this an error message coming from one of the IMAP servers, or it's
simply a result of the migration?

Depends a bit on the kind of corruption; but you could run `mu index
--rebuild' [1]; if the messages are corrupted so that mu does not
recognize them as valid messages, it should give warning output.

Kind regards,
Dirk.

[1] and perhaps --muhome / --maildir, depending on your setup, see the
manpage
