I did not, but did now, and it didn't work... As expected, it creates 
empty folders with the right name, containing sub folders named 'mailbox' 
with the contents of the original folder in the PST.

But, then I came across the -r switch, and added a -r mailbox. Then, it 
put the contents into the right folder, but still created empty mailbox 
sub-folders. I can live with that.. writing a script to just remove the 
empty mailbox folders (including the cur,new,tmp below it) took just about 
2 minutes.

Now to find the best version of mb2md ;-)
(There's a few pointers in the wiki page, but I don't like all the 
adaptations by Julian Fitzell, so I think I'll be patching my own version 
after all)

Thanks for the hint!

Regards,
Maarten
