Timo, Thanks again for the tip on the convert-tool. That did work to convert this guys 121K worth of messages. The built in convert plugin with dovecot was not able to do it. I believe due to the fact that this guy has folders with messages and then sub-folders with more messages. I'm migrating to mbox format which doesn't allow that feature. The convert-tool showed me this and it was easy fix to just move all sub-folders up to a flat directory structure. Then the convert-tool ripped right through all the messages.

Timo, Thanks. The cyrus2dovecot looks to have worked. So if I understand the process I now just move the MailDir folder that was created to the users home directory on our mail server. I will try the dovecot convert plugin. Just make sure I'm doing this correct in the config file:
If you do it only once, you don't need to use convert plugin. There's also a convert-tool binary included.
mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/userM/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = convert } plugin { convert_mail = Maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/userM/mail/%u }
Is this correct? The example on the website only shows how to convert from mbox to MailDir.
That looks also correct.
