A suggestion is to impose a quota on all your users' mailboxes. It
stops such ghost users from using up all the disk space.

There are several scripts available on www.qmail.org to convert from
mbox (the format used by UW-IMAP) to Maildir. Of course, you'll need a
Maildir-aware IMAP server, since UW-IMAP doesn't do Maildir.

Suggestions include the very capable courier-imap:

And Binc:
