An interesting idea!

I have over 400 mboxes in my ~/Mail directory, some of them being
mailing list archives, others being Usenet groups archives, or mboxes 
inherited from my decommissioned CommuniGate server.

My dovecot configuration is simple: "mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u"

If I knew how to convert all this stuff to Maildir storage... Do I 
have to convert all of them at once?
