Quoting http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html: "A unique name can be anything that doesn't contain a colon (or slash) and doesn't start with a dot." The entries that the mbox->Maildir conversion scripts created in new/ contain colors, and they are therefore skipped by Binc IMAP. To recover from this, you should be able to safely move the messages from new/ to cur/ if cur/ is empty and there is no activity from qmail or other Maildir accessors. To be safe (for instance, if this is done in batch for several accounts), you should stop qmail, Binc IMAP and so on, before moving the messages over from new. As long as your MTA delivers new messages to the new Maildir, everything should go fine from here.
