Just as a tip - there was a maildir2IMAPdir perl script posted to this 
mailing list a long time ago that creates, when it migrates you from one 
to the other, symbolic links so that Maildir and IMAPdir kindasorta 
exist alongside each other. It keeps vpopmail happy, because it can 
continue delivering to Maildir (which just so happens to be 
IMAPdir/INBOX, really). It also keeps most scripts happy too - the only 
thing that gets messed up is creating new folders.
