Hello

Yes I know it is far from the best solution , but this will be temporary
my final goal is to convert all users's email space to maildir but
I cannot do it all at once because of time it will take.

I cannot stop my production server 24 hours to convert all mailboxes
from MBOX to Maildir or I would have to face at  a users's riot !!!
