No hint in the logfile? Maybe a permission problem or Dovecot can't find any emails? If nothing is logged maybe it helps when you set "mail_debug=yes" in dovecot.conf? Btw: it seems that in the upcoming Dovecot 2.0 version there's no convert plugin available anymore - with 2.0 you can use "dsync" to convert emails between different mailbox formats. -- Daniel
