I'd suggested to _not_ import, but migrate the messages.
However, doveadm import -u user maildir:... "" all
works for me, but my target user already has ~/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}.

Well, maybe you could call the "homedirectory" in the sense of Dovecot
as "directory where to put files relatively to by default', see
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation sec. "homeless useres".

I though mb2md supports "-d destdir", and to patch subscribe :
cd <<maildir>>
echo INBOX >subscribe
ls -d .??* |grep '^\.' | sed -e 's/^\.//' >>subscribe
