Timo,
Running v1.0.0
The convert plugin works pretty damn good! No need to mess with
external utilities.
One comment, though: Running here on OS X, I configured it with this
convert_mail line:
convert_mail = mbox:~/Library/Mail/IMAP/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
The IMAP directory was renamed to IMAP-converted after the process
but the inbox (in /var/mail) does not get renamed. The WIKI sounds
like it should be renamed to something, too.

It's not supposed to be renamed. The most important reason why the renaming is done at all is so that convert plugin doesn't try to convert the same mailboxes twice. It's enough to rename the mbox root directory for that. I think renaming INBOX could just cause problems.

Any suggestions how to change it so it doesn't sound like that? I thought it was pretty clear. :)

Perhaps change this:
Once everything is finished, ~/mail is renamed to ~/mail-converted
and at next login the conversion isn't done, because the ~/mail
directory no longer exists.
to this:
Once everything is finished effected directories are renamed: ~/mail
is renamed to ~/mail-converted, etc. and at next login the conversion
isn't performed because the ~/mail directory no longer exists. Mail
files, such as the INBOX (~/var/mail/$USERNAME) are not renamed.
