The process of Converting Maildir files manually involves exporting emails from the Maildir format, which stores emails in individual files within structured directories. It typically requires technical expertise to copy the Maildir directory from the server, convert the individual emails using command-line utilities (like mbox or EML converters), and import them into the desired email client. This manual approach is time-consuming, prone to errors, and poses risks of data corruption or incomplete conversions, especially when dealing with large datasets or numerous subdirectories.
