Won't do anything to v1.0. Maybe for v1.0.1. Anyway already implemented
to CVS HEAD (which will become v1.1):
# Skip directories beginning with '.'
#convert_skip_dotdirs = no
# If source storage has mailbox names with destination storage's
hierarchy
# separators, replace them with this character.
#convert_alt_hierarchy_char = _
The alt hierarchy character would fix the mailbox names to work, and
skipping dotdirs would make that unnecessary.

You mean it doesn't work because you have these dot-directories? It
would work if you didn't have them..
