Converting from one mailbox format to another one is now simple as never
before.
Assuming that the mail_location is set to mdbox:~/mdbox and before it
was maildir:~/Maildir:
execute:
dsync convert maildir:~/Maildir
If you are root and want to covert the format of a mailbox from a
virtual user (w/o) system access, execute:
dsync -u john@example.com maildir:~/Maildir
Don't forget to update your sieve rules when switching to dbox or mdbox.
For example:
fileinto lists.dovecot;
becomes:
fileinto lists/dovecot;

@Timo
dsync has written a few errors to the console:
dsync-src(user): Error: file_dotlock_open() failed with file
/home/user/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: No such file or
directory

[after pressing the return key I had my propmt back.]
There were only a few 'Debug: …' messages logged at 2009-11-11 23:39:47
Where can I specify the path separator?
In the maildir was a folder like:
Maildir/.INBOX.Lists.Dovecot
In the mdbox is now this directory:
mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX.Lists.Dovecot
I would have expected to find a structure like:
mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/Lists/Dovecot
