Nosy question :)

How did you convert the mbox to maildir and get all the mbox folders,
or what is a good way to do this?

I used a perl script I found out on the innurnet called mboxmdir.pl,
and wrote a quick-and-dirty meta-script to run mboxmdir.pl on all the users' mailboxes.


I took me about 4 hours to go through all the users mailboxes and rename them to something reasonable (i.e.: change a mailbox name from "Something that has - spaces 'quotes' and -- dashes" IntoSomethingWhichWontChokeAScript), and then about 45 minutes for the script itself to run.

I'd written some shell scripts to update the prefs.js file for Mozilla to change the users mail settings to point to the new mail server, so that took a bit as well.
