moving mbox folders to maildir

Hi

My mail server is currently running sendmail and uses mbox. I would like to move to a new machine that will run postfix with maildir. I am not sure how to handle is he mbox folders of users on the old machine and make them available for the users on the new postfix/maildir server. They obviously need to be in maildir format:

- Is there a tool that I can use to convert those mbox folders into maildir folders?

- If that is possible, would it then be a matter of copying the new folders to the homes of their respective users, or is there more to it than this?

Thank you

I have read the Readme file and it does not suggest that imapsyc can convert from mbox to maildir. Trasferring the files form one machine to another is not the problem, but convering them from mbox to maildir is. Thanks

Both servers have IMAP already. Are you implying that by transferring the messages, using imapsync, from the mbox sendmail server to the maildir postfix server all folders get converted to maildir?
