[Users] Some imap questions

Yes, better to use the CM features initially, then move emails to IMAP
folders within Claws, and the next 'sync' on other clients will get the
(new) emails.

The o/p from Samsung email app are .EML files. There is a tool at
https://github.com/Jachimo/emlToMbox , to convert from .EML to MBOX
format.  Then an import from Claws-Mail. That works fine.

Initially the .EML files were renamed to numbers using:

	ls -v | cat -n | while read n f; do mv -n "$f" "$n"; done

however that is not needed now.
