Hello Jim,

The question may also be: "where are your users coming from?".
It seems you are in the process of changing your server, or?
Could you describe your current server, its setup, and show an example  
of how those nested dual-use mailboxes are stored on it?
Who knows, there's perhaps an easy way to re-arrange the layout on the  
server so as to (almost) transparently migrate to Dovecot?
