I'm wanting to convert my large imap files into maildir for archival
purposes.

I have a file with emails from customers.  This file is 300M in size.  I
found this utility:

Script complaining that the file is not mbox format.  Possibly
different?  Mutt can read the file fine.

Should I use another utility?
