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!
