[Dovecot] mbox to maildir conversion does not work

Hello,

I'm try to use the convert plugin, but I cannot seem to get it working 
properly. Is there any setting that I'm missing.

In what way is it not working? Based on the timestamps in your log, it 
looks like you're getting disconnected as soon as you log in. But, does 
Dovecot work for you without the convert plugin?

It also seems a little odd that you're using the plugin under POP3, rather 
than IMAP (it's not listed in mail_plugins(imap)), given POP3's limited 
concept of "mailboxes"/directories/etc. But, I don't know that
that's
problematic.

Best,
Ben

This is invalid. You must have a root mail directory specified. If you  
only have INBOX files, it still must point to some location. For  
example create an empty /tmp/empty directory and use:

mbox:/tmp/empty:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

[Dovecot] mbox to maildir conversion does not work

Hello,

I have got it working using
convert_mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
and it converts fine to maildir.

The one problem that I am having now is that client downloads some of
the emails again, after conversion.

Let me described the situation,
I'm trying to migrate from qpopper pop3 to dovecot pop3, which works 
with  no problems, using the 'pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes' setting. And
'mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u'. At this point no email
is downloaded twice.

But when I go to convert the /var/mail/%u to /var/imap/%u/.imap/, using
the convert mail plugin, only the mail the has been delivered once 
before using the dovecot pop3 deamon is been sent again, not the email 
that was set using the qpopper deamon. All of the mail is being converted.

Do you know why this would be?

What it looks like I will be doing is going strait from qpopper to 
dovecot converting to maildir, but I was hoping to use dovecot with the 
mboxs as an intermittent stage.

Thank you again for your time,
Scott
