Hello,

The one problem that I am having now is that client downloads some of
the emails again, after conversion.

Let me described the situation,

Thank you again for your time,

I'm trying to migrate from qpopper pop3 to dovecot pop3, which works with no problems, using the 'pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes' setting. And 'mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u'. At this point no email is downloaded twice. the convert mail plugin, only the mail the has been delivered once before using the dovecot pop3 deamon is been sent again, not the email that was set using the qpopper deamon. All of the mail is being converted. What it looks like I will be doing is going strait from qpopper to dovecot converting to maildir, but I was hoping to use dovecot with the mboxs as an intermittent stage.

You might need to set dovecot to use the qpopper UIDL format, it you can find what it is.
