I was the one who did that. It worked well. I moved my Maildir to Maildir2
(and a copy in Maildir3 in case something went wrong) then pointed the dovecot
"maildir" to ~/MailDir2 and went from there. Once it was running, it took all
of about 10 minutes to convert over 10 years of email into claws-mail. I then
just uninstalled dovecot. The entire procedure took about 30 minutes, mostly
from my lack of dovecot's configuration. So I ended up with 2 new items...
knowledge of how to install and configure dovecot, and claw-mail with my 10+
year history of email.
