Hmm, Interesting, Galen. Mabey someone could port the vB imoprt feature.

Probably would be a violation of the vB license.

I don't meen a EXACT port, but somthing like it. Because, Massacre ported the IBproArcade.

More likely, I think if someone could just look at ImpEx to see HOW to convert a UNIX mail file into something a db can read (probably CSV), then something could be written to convert Yahoo's mail file to MyBB's db format.

You could probably find an open-source parser for MBOX files...

Here's one: http://pear.php.net/package/Mail_Mbox/

MBOX specifications: http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html (the format looks pretty simple)

I'm not sure how this would help me, as I wouldn't be able to make a plug-in to use the mbox...

Please help.

Bump...

Please answer.

Well, here's what I was thinking...

1. Download all messages to an MBOX file.
2. Load messages into a PHP script by parsing MBOX file.
3. Now you have the messages loaded, and you can do whatever you want with them (in this case, insert them into MyBB's database).

That's a simplified, theoretical plan, of course.
