Look at qmail's site. They've got some nice tools for scripting the
switch. Some will need a little bit of cooking for your specific
implementaion, but basicly it's there.
Downtime will be the time it takes to install procmail (or other Maildir
happy LDA) and restart sendmail (assuming home directories are setup
properly.) Also need to restart your POP3 daemon of course. Then, you
can fire off a script to convert the mailboxes.
Good luck!
