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. -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/
