you can use this command for example (without loosing emails):

dsync -o mail_location=sdbox:/path_to_old_mailbox/sdbox mirror mdbox:/path_to_new_mailbox/mdbox

You can stop Dovecot, convert your emails, change the Dovecot
configuration to mdbox (instead of sdbox) and restart Dovecot.

Maybe you could also use a script which runs after the user login. See
