This is a production system and I don't want to disturb running services and I am a bit afraid of not using the right command and maybe destroying (or whatever) their mailboxes.  I am sure it is pretty easy.  Can someone please tell me the correct dsync command line that I should use to read each mbox file (one-way) into the specific folder of the mdbox folder structure of a specific user?

More information about the nature of these mbox files, and how they are
or will be used, would be helpful.

Is there a reason you don't/won't/can't simply create a new namespace,
instead of copying the contents from the mbox files into users' mdbox files?
