There is a tool called "mb2md" that'll convert from mbox to maildir (funnily 
enough).  Never used it so I don't know how successful it is, whether it keeps any 
hierarchical structure or just dumps everything out to the current directory, 
whether it sets the "read flag" on messages or whether they all appear as "unread", 
etc.
