Hello,
we like to use dovecot, but our old imapd used to store the paths of the
folder in the file ~/.mailboxlist. This file contains something like
this:
mail/read
mail/dovecot
.netscape/imap/mailbox
.Mail/foo
Each line with a path to one mbox folder. And please pay attention that
there is no path to the inbox, because this is stored on the server...
Is there a way to use this files with dovecot? It would be a real pain
to change this for a few thousand user...
Do you see a chance of using such a file? Or is it already possible and
I'd overlooked it? Or is it easy / hard to implement?
kind regards,
J?rgen Kahnert

I know thats Hard(tm) but it would be cool. :) -sv
