Just the same.  Wherever you have an mbox file, replace it with a
maildir directory.

You can even go one better by having maildirs which themselves contain
subdirectories, something that is impossible with mbox files.

For example, you could have a maildir called work which contains
unsorted messages, and also sub-maildirs for each client.  Each client
maildir can contain messages as well as yet more sub-maildirs for e.g.
certain projects, time periods, contacts, etc.

I don't believe netscape includes support for the maildir format,
though, so you may not be able to do this, unless you do something like
run an IMAP server such as courier and use netscape to access the mail
through the IMAP interface.

good times,
Vineet
