I have a client who recently switched hosts. When they switched hosts they didn't backup their email and updated their configuration settings so they lost everything. However, I was able to log in to their old hosting control panel and download their mail folder. I am wondering if there is a way to extract their emails and/or contacts from the files.

I'm not sure what type of files they are, there is no extension, but the folder directory is structured like this:

• mail/
  
  • .Drafts/
  • .Sent/
  • .Trash/
  • cur/
  • new/
  • theirdomain.com/
  • tmp/
  • [email protected]
  • maildir

Inside of the theirdomain.com folder, there is a folder for each account and inside of that is a folder called "cur" which has a whole bunch of files with names like 1292945327.H169813P25958.uscentral21.myserverhosts.com,S=10117/2,S and if I preview those files I can see the actual email messages inside of them but I have no idea how to get that information from those files to an email client.

Anyone know of a way to work with these files?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can share!
