My basic setup right now is that mail comes to me via
exim->procmail->mbox(es)->UWimap.

I guess my first question would be "How do I change exim to deliver to
maildir format?"  I haven't had a chance to look at the links that have
been sent to me yet, so it's very possible I will find the answer there.

My next question would be "How do I have procmail handle maildir
format?"  An example from my current .procmailrc:

# Filter mail from my sister to a particular mbox
:0 :Personal.lck
* From: LTuininga at newmarket
"Personal/Laura"

How would I alter this to do maildir?

For the time being, I have a test system that I'm using to learn and
experiment.  However, I'm looking to eventually convert my existing
"live" system to courier.  Are there any well used/known good tools for
converting existing mbox structures over to maildir?  I can
google/freshmeat around for converters, but I'm looking for specific
experiences.

Thanks in advance - I'm anticipating having a lot more questions for
y'all.  8)
