How did you handle the transition from mbox to maildir?

For my POP users, I didn't. I leave everyone's 'inbox' in /var/mail in
mbox format. If a user connects via IMAP (Squirrelmail, etc.), folders
in /home/%u are created and stored in maildir format, but their inbox
stays in /var/mail in mbox format.

Dovecot also comes with convert-tool. For the users who had mbox files
in their home directory, I used it to convert those to maildir format. I
don't think the port installs convert-tool; I got it by doing 'make' in
the dovecot port directory and manually copied it from there.
