Yes, you only have to change the maildir field (and rename the 
directories, of course).

However I wouldn't edit the dump. Instead, I'd select username and 
maildir into a text file and use some sed magic to create update 
statements.

But that's probably just a question of personal taste ;-)


BTW: The easiest way is to do nothing ;-)  The existing maildirs will 
keep their old naming (and still work), directories for new mailboxes 
will get the new naming scheme.

If you use the maildir field everywhere, you shouldn't have to change 
the config.
