The perl Mail-Box[1] modules can process many different mailbox
formats[2] - so a script to convert between formats shouldn't be 
more than 10 lines or so....

  my $src = Mail::Box::MBox->new(folder => "/some/path/to/file");
  my $dst = Mail::Box::MailDir->new(folder => "/some/path/to/maildir");
  
  foreach ($src->messages) {
    $dst->addMessage($_);
  }
  
  $dst->close;
  $src->close;
