note the comment on / :)
i would just migrade with external tools like imapsync or https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/mb2md.1.html
move all mails over to another folder that is maildir, not mbox when done configure this old mbox to maildir in config
namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = }
https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2021-October/123173.html see the syntax for sdbox here, you can have the mbox there for the mails needed to be converted to maildir
