I checked freshmeat.net and found a few programs that could do mbox to maildir conversion (and also direct account to account copying) -  however none of them seem to put it in the "dot foldername" (".folder") that courier-imap requires... even though that is apparently maildir format.  Has anyone else gone through this experience or has any advice on how to get around it?

Put the old format files on a server that understands it or use a client that understands it and use an imap client to upload it to your new server.
