No, mutt can handle maildirs and mboxes alongside each other. It just looks at what kind of file/directory it is dealing with at runtime. For conversion, you can use formail -s together with some script that will deliver to maildirs. I can provide you with mine if you ask. Also, something like DEFAULT=/path/to/maildir/ procmail /dev/null will work (but I try to avoid procmail for data-critical tasks). Lastly, are you sure you need IMAP and dovecot at all? Do you have shell access to the server? -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
