Just spotted the above error message (deleted previous posts already),
and it strikes me as seriously odd.
Dots in mbox file names are usually embedded (as in dovecot.org),
where it makes sense, as opposed to beginning with a dot. Even worse,
this particular name is kind of weird for a mail folder...
However, this name is well known to me:

Hmm, so one of your users really got a mail folder named gnome2_private?
Odd...
No, of course. It's one of the dot files, which nearly each application creates.
Anyway, another idea hit me -- is this really an invalid name, as Timo
said? I don't know the convert plugin and what it logs, and I don't know
the exact details of Maildir either. However, creating a mail folder
named gnome2_private in your MUA will result in a dir by that name
with a leading dot. Just like the name in the error message, no?
Valid name or not, that's not the primary question.
What abot the idea to ignore directories and check the contents of files
for beeing am mail folder? If yes, then comes the question about the name.
I'd check where the Maildir data actually is being created and what
files are being attempted to convert. Almost looks like the Maildir dirs
are being created in the users $HOME...
No, dovecot.conf contains
I did not want you to paste the settings again, but to check if the
Maildir files are being created where you expect them. Grepping or
changing conf files doesn't mean anything, if the running process
doesn't use this particular version. ;)
The Maildir directory was created, but no folder converted.
BTW: Thanks for explaining trivia. :-)

Won't do anything to v1.0. Maybe for v1.0.1. Anyway already implemented
to CVS HEAD (which will become v1.1):
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Currently this doesn't work :-(
You mean it doesn't work because you have these dot-directories? It
would work if you didn't have them..
Tell this to the .gnome* and similiar people :-)

Since this seems to be so common problem, maybe I should make mbox::INBOX=/var/mail/%u work too.. Any thoughts ? Is there a particular settings to use ? Anything wrong with my setup ?
