Fetch .eml files with Dovecot

Question

I have a local storage with number of .eml files. I would like to copy all such files to mailboxes located on the same server (CentOS box), so that users could view .eml content when fetching emails from the server. I am thinking of using Dovecot as IMAP server and Postfix as SMTP. I hope that my question is not too general, but is such configuration possible with Dovecot? Perhaps, I will need to convert .eml to some other format? I tried googling this topic but with no result. Maybe, there are far better approaches.

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

It appeared there is a script which can convert eml files into mbox format. There is also another script which can convert mbox to maildir. So, we can create a mailbox and convert eml files into it.
