 ## Background
 
-This was originally published around 2007 (probably earlier) [on my personal site][tao], and it was originally developed to work around the then rather limited (ok, inconsistent) Mac OS X Mail.app functionality and allow me to back up my old mailboxes in a fully standard `mbox` format (well, at least as much as `mbox` can be considered a standard...).

 Somewhat to my surprise it was considered useful by quite a few people throughout the years, and contributions started coming in. Given that there seems to be renewed interest in this as a systems administration tool, I'm posting the source code here and re-licensing it under the MIT license.

 I am accepting pull requests, but bear in mind that one of the goals of this script is to run on _older_ Python versions, so as to save sysadmins stuck in the Dark Ages the trouble of installing a newer Python (much to my own amazement, this was originally written in Python 2.3).
 
-I would be delighted to make it PEP8 compliant, bring it fully up to date with Python 2.7/3.4, etc., and have considered adding multi-threading/multiprocessing to speed it up, but time is short enough as it is. If you feel up to the task just send me a pull request renaming the main script to include the target Python version - something like `imapbackup27.py`, etc.
