I had the same problem when I did a migration. I have a fast mbox to
cyrus migration script which you could convert to do maildir easily
enough if you have any shell programming knowledge (and if not, time to
learn!). You will lose all information though - the messages will be
flagged as new. Instead of using an IMAP sync, you feed the email
message in as a brand new message to the deliver program. It's fast and
effective.
