Many of the scripts that do the conversion remove this message.
I used perfect_maildir.pl to do my conversion. It was more or less dead-on, but had the habbit of marking some unread messages incorrectly as "read" after the conversion.
I've attached a patch which "fixed" this in my case. This patches against perfect_maildir.pl v0.2.

Hello there,
We want to move from UW-IMAP to Dovecot (mbox format), works like a charm, but UW-IMAP has that bloody habbit to make a stupid message in all his mailbox files :
From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Apr 19 10:30:01 2001 Date: 19 Apr 2001 10:30:01 +0200 From: Mail System Internal Data MAILER-DAEMON@mailhub2-vil.isdnet.net Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA Message-ID: 987669001@mailhub2-vil.isdnet.net X-IMAP: 0987630138 0000000001 Status: RO
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values.
Is there any patch / trick / whatever to avoid that such "stupid" message to be not served by dovecot ?
Thanks, /Xavier
