Any imap client can move mail between folders, whether local or on
different hosts/accounts. Connect with one, move the existing
messages somewhere else (a local client folder if you don't have
another imap account where you can make a folder to park them), then
reconfigure your procmail and dovecot to use maildir format, and move
them back. With a GUI mail agent this is normally a select/drag/drop
operation. Not sure how/if you can do it in mutt.
