Beware, mbxcvt is pretty outdated (deprecated utility) and everything. I lost my nerves with "NULL-character" -errors (and that timeouting problem).
IMHO, Better utility for this is imapxfer which saves imapflags correctly and transfers subfolders too if there is imap-server (basically imap-folders are located under user's homedirectory which imapxfer transfers too) Imapxfer comes from UW-Imap's utilities package.
