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.

The format of the current directories is:

INBOX
Folder1----
          |---sub1---
          |          |---subsub1
          |
          |---sub2

So the paths would be $HOME/Folder1, $HOME/Folder1/sub1,
$HOME/Folder1/sub1/subsub1, $HOME/Folder1/sub2... ad. nausium

Since Courier likes this folder tree to look like:
$HOME/Maildir/.Folder1, $HOME/Maildir/.Folder1.sub1,
$HOME/Maildir/.Folder1.sub1.subsub1, $HOME/.Folder1.sub2, etc., I need a
routine to recursively fix this mess.  Has anyone done this
programmatically before?  I have a 7 gigabyte mail spool at this point
with 178 users and LOTS of folders.  I obviously don't want to try to do
this manually.  This is a production system but I have a machine to test
on.  I need to do the whole conversion process over the course of one
evening...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...  I might even buy you lunch if
you're ever in Buffalo, NY :-)

Cheers!

Bob
