Maybe "procmail" can give you a hand...?

You might be able to use mutt to do this - mutt has support for both mh
and Maildir, and while it's mostly used as an interactive program, you
can specify actions and commands from the command line, so I'd think it
will be possible to script it.

Yes it can Chuck... ;-)

I found http://www.informatik-vollmer.de/software/mh2maildir.html
It's a script that uses procmail to convert MH to Maildir.

I had to make 2 really small adjustments to the script, but it works perfectly.
And the fixes were put online within a day!

I used it to migrate all my mail from Sylpheed to KMail.
