I installed UW-IMAP with the maildir patches on my system but there are several bizarre problems. I intend to convert to Courier (tested it on a development server) but I have to convert all of my users from one maildir format hierarchy to the Courier hierarchy.

Hi Robert,

there are several tools for converting mbox style mailboxes to the maildir format - one of these is mb2md which I maintain (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ written by Robin Whittle). The only drawback is that it cannot convert mboxes recursively and I'm not aware of any tool that does. mb2md can at least convert all mailboxes on one level, whereas some of the other tools just do one mbox at time.

I wrote a wrapper script around mb2md to handle the recursive conversion but as I was converting from a Windows box I had to do a lot of extra stuff and do a lot of things different so this wrapper won't help you much.

I hope to find the time in the near future to implement this in mb2md - sorry.

Regards, Juri
