+## Agenda
+
+### Attempted redeployment of mboxes as maildirs
+
+- It begins with Joe updating the postfix configuration file to cause it to
+ write into maildir files (by suffixing the destination with a `/`).
+
+- We then try to convert existing mailbox files using the `md2md` tool,
+ originally within the `/var/mail` directory. This does not go very well.
+
+- Joe copies the files to his home directory and tries to convert it there,
+ which does not work either.
+
+- Joe's `[REDACTED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE]` walks in and asks Joe a question
+
+ - Joe's screen showcases "Microphone muted".
+
+ - Joe says "Yeah, I'm muted now".
+
+ - The conversation is perfectly audible. Chris and Johannes begin to emit a
+ subtle smile.
+
+ - Joe says some form of British goodbye that I cannot transcribe here.
+
+ - Joe's screen showcases "Microphone unmuted".
+
+ - Johannes bursts into laughter.
+
+ - Joe asks "What?"
+
+ - Johannes keeps laughing. The smile on Chris' face grows.
+
+ - Joe gets even more confused.
+
+ - Chris' smile keeps growing. Fredrick, who normally tries his best to act
+ like a sunglass-wearing robot, also has to start smiling. Joe starts
+ smiling as well.
+
+ - Johannes and Chris explain it to Joe. Chris explains the technicalities of
+ why Joe was not muted properly.
+
+ - SIGINT team suggests monitoring Chris carefully, given that he knows
+ precisely how to make microphone mute functions cease to work.
+
+ - After audible gears can be heard to turn in Fredrick's head, he ceases to
+ smile.
+
+- A minute passes in the United Kingdom. 60 seconds pass in Germany.
+
+- The team remembers that they wanted to migrate mailboxes.
+
+ - The last attempt in Joe's home directory did not work.
+
+- Unfortunately all of the four fully grown software engineers on call are
+ incapable of reading and understanding a manual page.
+
+- Joe opens the Dovecot website and starts planting seeds of thought through
+ his (now unmuted) microphone.
+
+- Johannes, taking heavy inspiration from Fredrick, takes 10 seconds to process
+ what Joe is suggesting.
+
+ - Joe asks a bunch of questions on Dovecot. Johannes answers. Chris browses
+ car pictures.
+
+- Bella blasts in (because of his explosive personality). The team is shocked by
+ this, as it was known that Bella was currently on his anti-celibacy trip and
+ thus his Brothers From Another Mother were not on the priority list.
+
+- Bella's `[REDACTED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE]` is briefly seen in the background.
+ Bella is quick to state that he has to leave.
+
+- Disappointment fills the chat, we are still only Bella's sidechick.
+
+- Joe and Johannes discuss Dovecot and realize that it is probably a too
+ complicated solution. Chris is still browsing car pictures. Judging by the
+ reflection in Fredrick's sunglasses, he appears to be staring at a white
+ screen.
+
+- The team gives up on maildirs and decides that mbox format is probably good
+ enough.
