Greetings, all Last night I migrated our mail between two machines... both running dovecot 0.99.xx. In the process, I wanted to make some small changes, namely that new mail be delivered to mboxs in /var/mail/%u and IMAP mail stored in Maildirs at ~/.imap ... I tried using: default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u But had no luck. Is it only 1.0 that can work with two different mailbox formats? Or did I screw up somewhere else? In the end, it actualy saved me a fair bit of work, since I'd have had to move everyone's old inbox. -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net

The directive you need is default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u Regards -- Chris Hills IT Services North East Worcestershire College
