Temps : Selon la boite mail
Pré-requis : testé avec Ubuntu, Fedora (mais possible avec d'autres Linux), Python
Intro
Le premier script ne sert qu'à convertir une boite sans dossier, le second cherche tous les sous dossiers pour une conversion complète. L'origine des deux scripts n'est pas de moi, mais j'ai repris le second pour l'améliorer et qu'il soit bien efficace (récursivité, respect de la casse, etc.).
Je vous les glisse en pièces jointes 
Premier script (en python) : maildir2mbox.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

maildir2mbox.py

---
Uses Python's included mailbox library to convert mail archives from
maildir [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir] to
mbox [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox] format.
See http://docs.python.org/library/mailbox.html#mailbox.Mailbox for
full documentation on this library.
---
To run, save as maildir2mbox.py and run:
$ python maildir2mbox.py [maildir_path] [mbox_filename]
[maildir_path] should be the the path to the actual maildir (containing new, cur, tmp);
[mbox_filename] will be newly created.
"""
import mailbox
import sys
import email
# open the existing maildir and the target mbox file
maildir = mailbox.Maildir(sys.argv [-2], email.message_from_file)
mbox = mailbox.mbox(sys.argv[-1])
# lock the mbox
mbox.lock()
# iterate over messages in the maildir and add to the mbox
for msg in maildir:
mbox.add(msg)
# close and unlock
mbox.close()
maildir.close()
Second script (Bash) : mdir2mbox.sh

Utilisation
"mdir2mbox.sh mails mails_conv" où :
- mdir2mbox.sh est executable
- Les deux scripts sont dans le même dossier
- Les deux dossiers mails et mails_conv sont dans ce même dossier
Remerciements
Un grand merci à ceux qui m'ont permis de ne pas réinventer la roue :
- Nathan R. Yergler pour son script python (son site)
- Chris Backhouse pour son script bash que j'ai un peu repris.
