Thinking about going from mbox to maildir. Started with mbox way back when but thinking about making the conversion. The main reason is that I use rsync for backups and when these huge mailboxes are touched I have to copy the whole thing. With maildir I only copy the files that change.
So - my questions is - what's the easiest way to make this happan. I assume there are conversion utilities. I'm using Exim as an MTA.
You could use the Dovecot 'Convert' plugin, which will convert mail between msg stores and formats when a user logs in... alternatively, you could use mb2md or something similar.
No links at hand sorry, but a quick google should provide the answers.

Plugin???? I'm going to have to check that out.
