A practical example of mboxmerge

Since I’m in a “post everything I write” kind of mood, I’ll also throw in my script that automates using mboxmerge and mboxdiff with Evolution. You give it the name of a folder (‘Inbox’ for example), and it fetches the remote version using SSH, merges them, and prints a report of the differences between the three files (remote, old local, and new). Naturally, the script is written for my setup but I’ve made it so that you only need to edit the top part of the script with your information. This script is Linux / Windows-with-Cygwin only though, no EXE version
