I recently am attempting a mbox to Maildir conversion, initially for a single email address, and then for everyone.

To further this diagnostic here is the dovecot -n:

dovecot -n

1.1.4: /etc/dovecot.conf

base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: SpamZapper Email ready. mail_max_userip_connections(default): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 3 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

so you're still using mbox.

I was under the impression that you could migrate individual mailboxes and set up the information via the dovecot.passwd file, i.e.

health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152:/home/health:userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir

Is this not valid?

How do I set up individual Mailboxes for Maildir until I have them converted?

That looks ok, but:

...

passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /home/dovecot.passwd passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

You're using passwd-file only as passdb. That means it uses only the username and password field of the file. You'll need to use it as a userdb also.

But can the users read their mail anyway? You said that they can't get new mails. Are you using Dovecot's deliver as MDA?

ok, being that I've never done this before, how do I fix this?

The users cannot find the Email in the Maildir because the setting is not read. Clues?
