I remember there were some utilities distributed with wu-imapd source 
that might do what you want.  A perl script that would split mbox 
mailbox into maildir format is also trivial to write.  If you are 
transferring between two IMAP servers (one using mbox, the other using 
maildir), you can also use utility such as imapsync and not worry about 
the storage format of particular IMAP server.
