This actually looks like the way I will look into doing it. That way I can migrate the ones that have close to 8GB of mail on a weekend and the rest that are "typical" with a few hundred MB any old time.
Now just to figure out the proper syntax for ldap. ;)

So once I setup postfix to deliver the mail properly and the dovecot convert plugin is setup, is there a way to gradually migrate the users so I don't kill the server? We have about 220GB or so of mail between about 160+/- users. What would be the best way to migrate it all to maildir?
I can't give you precise instructions, but from the bottom of the Plugins wiki page:
"To enable / disable plugins per user you can make your userdb return mail_plugins extra field. See UserDatabase/ExtraFields for examples."
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
So you could enable the convert plugin on a per user basis and do them one at a time or in small groups...
