Re: Convert KMail emails to Claws

..before the path exists ? How do I fix that please

Check the directories are being created

# replace this line
# $PRETEND || -e "$newdir" || mkdir("$newdir");

# with this
unless ($PRETEND || -e $newdir){
  mkdir($newdir) or die "ERROR creating $newdir : Perl says $!";
}

Update ; Not sure why this is near the end of program at line 76

mkdir("$claws_tmpdir", 0755);

It should probably be up near line 64

my $MAIL_dir = "$kmaildir";

unless ($PRETEND){
  mkdir($claws_tmpdir, 0755) 
     or die "ERROR creating $claws_tmpdir : Perls says $!";
}

Thanks poj. I tried that code and got an error msg "Global symbol "$newdir" requires explicit package name". I assume that must be due to the fact that the original code has `"$newdir"` and the replacement is `$newdir` The root of the problem is that the script is allowing the creation of a file before that path name for _that_ file has been created.That needs to have in the subroutine "process_file", yet it seems only the filename is parsed to that subroutine, not the path name as well ??
