[support] email archives as drupal nodes

[Reinier Battenberg]

@ To archive previous messages you would  
have to find a way to re-send them to the special mailbox you create  
as part of setting up Mailhandler/Listhandler.


We did the 're-sending' recently just by using IMAP. So, you load them in your 
(Thunderbird/Kontakt) client in 1 mailaccount, then create a second 
mailaccount that points to your new server where you want to import from. 
Drag the mails over to the new mailaccount, and synchronize. IMAP handles the 
uploading of the original emails.

What gave us a lot of trouble was the fact that all senders of emails need to 
have an account *before* you import the emails. There is no "if this sender 
does not exist, then create the user" or "If the sender does not exist, then 
post as Anonymous" setting, AFAIK.
