Converting mbox files to maildir folders is nearly trivial to script.

Note that mboxes can coexist with maildirs in a home directory. If you
install the Squirrelmail POP3 plugin, then you could deliver to maildir
and continue to serve your Squirrelmail users with a maildir-aware POP3
daemon.
Horde/IMP might be an adequate substitute for Squirrelmail.

Use Courier IMAP. It is a superb product.
I maintain a site where several thousand users drag-and-drop spam into a
shared folder for filter training, and notwithstanding some unreasonable
default settings, Courier has been running without problems for the last
year.

a: Operate well with Squirrelmail, Exim and Thunderbird.
b: Offer shared folders to users.
c: Use mbox.
Newer versions of uw-imapd seem to break Squirrelmail. Every time I
upgrade it breaks. Every time I set it back to a good version it does not.
I'm loking for shared folders so I can offer global spam/ham folders
for my users. I know this is generally a nono but in this instance I am
willing to run with it given two facts. The first is that spam scanning
happens at SMTP. Per user bayes filters do not apply at that time, it
has to be global. Second my user base is minute. I have maybe 6 active
mail accounts spread across 3 people. As such a global bayes DB isn't
really going to degreade resolution enough for me to worry about it.
However presently my users have no way to submit their own messages for
training. Shared folders seems to be the way to go.
Finally mbox is a requirement because my Squirrelmail isers, as well
as myself on Thunderbird, have months of archived mail in mbox format. :/
I've done some general poking around apt-cache and Google but
haven't found anything that fits the bill completely. I am aksing here
to see if anyone's been in this situation and knows of a resultion that
I might be missing. :)
