I am planning to shut down my own Dovecot server and start using the other 
Dovecot server I am administering together with a friend..

And I was thinking that I don't want to copy the emails I have on my server so 
I want to start from scratch on the other server..
But I would like to be able to look at the old emails if I need to, so was 
wondering if there is a way to do this without using an imap server?
Can I convert my mails stored in the maildir format to mbox or is there a 
better way to solve my problem?

why not simply drag&drop them to thunderbird or whatever MUA
you are using?


Well, I am using Claws Mail but you are thinking about make my emails available 
in offline modus? Guess that might be one way to go but I was just trying to 
figure out my options
as I have never done this  before... :)

With Thunderbird you can drop a mbox file into the "Local Folders" directory in the profile. Next start this mbox is displayed as mail folder.
