(I wrote a script to convert from vpopmail structure to a better structure when we moved from that mess to postfix/dovecot/mysql a few years back, that conversion, including moving mail took all of 45 minutes, most of that was copying mail, in the early days I did not like nor trust postfix, but are with it today and wouldnt use anything else again, in case I change jobs I've always kept my converting script hehe)
