dovecot - Dec 2010 - extra fields with "passwd" userdb

Hi,

I am planning a migration of ~600 accounts to mdbox (from maildir) and
was hoping to do some initial testing of certain account. I am hoping to
use extra fields to migrate certain accounts in advance for testing, and
I can't find info on setting up extra fields with the "passwd"
backend.
Is this possible, or will I have to use another approach?

Hello

It is is possible. You just need to replace the.

maildir: prefix with mdbox:, for  mail_location, for each one of the
test mail boxes.

also if you are using maildir++ quota. change it dovecot quota.
maildir++ does not work correctly with mdbox.
