Hi,

I setup FUDForum as a gatway with an existing mailing-list, and I wanted to import the archives of the mailing-list. The trick was to make to make sure FUDforum retreives all emails on the mailbox (not just the one tagged "recent"), and imports them in chronological order to avoid breaking the threads.

Put copies of the mailing-list archives on a dedicated mailbox accessible through POP/IMAP (use your mailer)
Configure FUDForum to retrieve the emails on this mailbox

Apply the following patch to maillist.php (:

424c424,425
< 		$emails = @imap_search($mbox, 'RECENT');
---
> 		//$emails = @imap_search($mbox, 'RECENT');
> 		$emails = array_reverse(@imap_sort($mbox, "SORTDATE", 0));
