We actually use MBOX format on our mailhub but this does not permit to create IMAP subfolders. It does, although it's less obvious how to do that with most clients.
My problem is to choose the format that will permit imap subfolders creation. Even mbox supports it, although the filesystem becomes a bit ugly: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MboxChildFolders
Maildir is not my favorite format and I wonder about MDBOX.
Does it permit imap subfolders creation ? Sure.
It is possible to convert from MBOX to MDBOX in one shot ? You can run dsync one user at a time, and of course you can run it for as many users as you want. I'd suggest switching a few users first to make sure everything will work nicely.
Is it stable / mature enoug for a production server ( 4000 users ) ? I hope so. :)
Thanks a lot Timo :-)
