You will too have to change Procmail to deliver into the Maildir DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ Something like that instructs Procmail to deliver as Maildir instead into an mbox (the trailing slash!). The google search from above will give you as first hit a small script to pass over already existing mail which is mbox stored into the new Maildir format. It works with formail (not Formmail) and Procmail. It reads in every from an mbox file every single mail message and resends it - of course after setup change to use Maildir - into the new Maildir.
