[ILUG] Migrating a mail system

[ILUG] Migrating a mail system

I have a small office where people have been using Kmail for the last five 
years. They are well organised and have all sorted their years of email into 
directories/sub directories and have happily accumulated thousands of emails.

Now we want to offer them access to their mail while travelling so I want to 
migrate to Dovecot so they can access their mail via imap. I can copy email 
from local files to imap in Kmail but it won't copy directories. Also I 
looked at the Kmail directory setup and it doesn't lend itself to worknig 
with Dovecot.

can someone point me in the direction of a wee perl script or similar that 
will run through each users Kmail directories and copy them to something hat 
is easier for Dovecot to understand?

Thanks

Kevin.
