Hi,
We are using mailman 2.1 and are preparing to migrate to mailman 3. We would like to also move the archives and as far as I understand it from the migration guide, you need the mbox file for that. The problem is, that on our current server we are somewhat restricted regarding disk space, which is why we truncated some of the mbox archives. The non-mbox archives, the ones you access from the webinterface, however, are still intact. My question is, whether we can either recreate the mbox files or if we can migrate the archives without them. If I understand it correctly, we should be able to cat all the archive files together into a new mbox file, but I'm not sure if that will break something.
Regards, Alain

It will work, but you will lose some header information and possibly scrubbed MIME parts, but the header info is lost anyway.
