I'm upgrading my mail server from UW to Dovecot and I'd like to convert from
mbox to maildir. I've successfully convert myself and a few other users with
the mb2md script. All is well.
At http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat Julian Fitzell provides
another variant of this script.
I added another option "-o" to it, which inherits the ownership from the
directory the item is created in.

Because the script does not use Dovecot, you must know the destination
path before hand.
===============
On the same Wiki page there is the note:
"Convert plugin
Dovecot has a plugin which allows you to convert between any two mailbox
formats supported by Dovecot. The conversion is done when the user logs in
for the first time, or using convert-tool binary. See Plugins/Convert."
Honestly, the phrase "using convert-tool binary" catches my eye the first
time. Maybe you check it out??
