[Dovecot] mbox to maildir: what about INBOX

I migrated from UW IMAP/Qpopper to Dovecot using:

# indexes on /var/indexes is faster: local, not NFS mouted
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u

# Qpopper
pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes


The new mail is sent to in /var/mail/%u in mbox format

How can I migrate some users to maildir and have them receive
their emails either in POP3 or IMAP. (lots of big files to convert)

How does new email get spooled in the right INBOX (POP3/IMAP) ?

Thanks.
