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.
