Anyone out there know of a tool that can convert a Cyrus MailDir format
to Dovecot mbox?  I have a user that I need to move over from a mail
server running cyrus using MailDir format.  At first I told him to setup
second account with Thunderbird to our mail server and then use
Thunderbird to move the messages over.  But he has over 100K messages so
not as easy to do.
   Is there a tool out there for doing this sort of conversion?  I tried
to simply cat all the messages into a single file, but just got a "Not
valid mbox format" when I tried to read the mail folder.
