I recently am attempting a mbox to Maildir conversion, initially for a
single email address, and then for everyone.

To further this diagnostic here is the dovecot -n:

 dovecot -n
# 1.1.4: /etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
protocols: imap pop3
ssl_disable: yes
disable_plaintext_auth: no

login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
login_greeting: SpamZapper Email ready.
mail_max_userip_connections(default): 10
mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 10

auth default:
  username_format: %Lu
  passdb:
    driver: passwd-file
    args: /home/dovecot.passwd
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd
ns6.ABS-CompTech.com root
[/root] ll /home/dovecot.passwd
-rw-r--r--  1 418 418 95 Oct 22 22:18 /home/dovecot.passwd

The problem I am having is that the user health cannot get new email
messages.

Suggestions?
