Timo,
Thanks again for the tip on the convert-tool. That did work to
convert this guys 121K worth of messages. The built in convert plugin
with dovecot was not able to do it. I believe due to the fact that this
guy has folders with messages and then sub-folders with more messages.
I'm migrating to mbox format which doesn't allow that feature. The
convert-tool showed me this and it was easy fix to just move all
sub-folders up to a flat directory structure. Then the convert-tool
ripped right through all the messages.
