Sounds like something to publish on the Dovecot wiki. :)
I guess I could hey, wouldn't take too much sanitising (removal of company specific requirements on top of mail converting) I don't think.
it was generlly designed to open a CDB file or MySQL table, take core components of that and add it to the vmail MySQL DB, get each users mail from the domain/A/1/blah type format and move it to /var/vmail/domain/?/?/?/user/Maildir, where as an example, the ?'s would translate to be /n/o/e/noel/Maildir/... the structure we use with Dovecot using dovecots LDA, we don't use postfix's.
(says the guy who's supposed to do a vpopmail conversion)
hehehe away from, I hope :) ? CDB? already using MySQL?
