OK. I just finished IMAPdir2Maildir.sh which is as quick and dirty as Maildir2IMAPdir.sh. While writing this script I found a few typos, etc with Maildir2IMAPdir.sh, so a new one has been included. The more sophisticated versions are yet to come.
Great work! I'll be more than happy to put it into the contrib area of the
Binc IMAP package. If you put in a copyright header and some documentation
at the top, it'll fit in smoothely.
Is the following sufficeint?
#! /bin/sh
#
# Maildir2IMAPdir (v0.2) - convert Maildir++ depots to IMAPdir depots

# This script converts a Maildir++ to an IMAPdir, using brute force
# and ignorance. It is invoked as follows:
# Maildir2IMAPdir.sh Maildir IMAPdir
# If it completes successfully, you will see two new directories:
# IMAPdir - the new IMAPdir
# Maildir.bak - the original Maildir
# Since Maildir has been removed, delivery instructions to Maildir will fail.
# So, make sure you convert all your .qmail, etc. files and the same time.
# And yes, your mail is now taking up twice as much space, which can be
# recovered by removing Maildir.bak (after you have convinced yourself that
# the migration was a success).
#
# See Maildir2IMAPdir.pl for a more sophisticated conversion utilility.
