mail_location = dbox:~/dbox

convert_mail = maildir:~/Maildir

Note that it'll rename files from maildir to dbox. Also although I've
done a lot of stress testing with dbox already, I don't know if it's
been in any real use yet. Backups would be a good idea.

Oh, and I hope you're using 1.1.betas, don't even try to use v1.0's dbox
code.
