[Dovecot] Converting from Maildir format ?

[Nick at 5sg.eu]

  Hi again,
            I'm still trying to find out if anyone knows the correct
   way to either switch the existing Maildir multiple file format to
   the single file format I believe known as MBox.
   Failing that, though it'll mean a LOT of work for me to manually
   convert all of the existing Maildirs, how do I get dovecot to
   work in future in MBox single file format.

   I tried entering  'mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/%h/%u' in
   the 'dovecot.conf', but it still saves each message in a file of
   its own in the /new /cur /tmp directories ??
                                                Thanks,
                                                        Nick. . . . .
