If you have soft links, then you are advised to use Maildir++2IMAPdir.pl which handles soft links properly.
Why do you do this? Is it to preserve the delivery instructions of your MTA?Thanks for the error report. May I ask to what Maildir was linked?
Not sure what you mean all my Maildir are linked. when i create a new user account i have to go into that users INBOX and do this
rm -rf INBOX
ln -s . INBOX
This looks more like an IMAPdir than a Maildir++. What does "l -a" produce?my INBOX seems to go on forever as you can see

The proper sequence for migrating a Maildir++ depot to an IMAPdir depot is:
1. shutdown Binc and the MTA (e.g. qmail)
2. run Maildir++2IMAPdir.sh for all mail users
3. Change the delivery instructions for the MTA
4. Change the depot in bincimapd.conf
5. Start up Binc and the MTa
Note that step 3 can be skipped if Maildir++2IMAPdir.pl is used instead of Maildir++2IMAPdir.sh.

I have my Maildir symbolicly linked with ln -s . INBOX but get a weird INBOX loop that seems to go on forever.
Also it was too much hassle to link for every new user
set up a new server and set postfix to deliver to IMAPdir/INBOX/ and do not have to create a symlink for every user on this new machine
