# mms2mail
Convert mmsd MMS file to mbox.
mms2mail can convert mms in batch mode, or wait for new mms via a dbus signal
sent by mmsd.
By default it store them in the current user mbox (```/var/mail/$USER```)
in case the mbox is locked by another process the output could be found in :
```$HOME/.mms/failsafembox```
