Hi there,
I'm currently running IMAP with Courier and POP3 with Solid-POP3d. I'd
like to migrate IMAP and POP3 to both use Dovecot.
All this works fine in testing, except for the fact that I have two
types of users for legacy reasons.
One type of user has a Maildir-style inbox at ~/Maildir/
The other type has a mbox-style inbox at ~/Mailbox
Is it possible to make Dovecot look for both? As far as I can see I'd
need default_mail_env to accept multiple names, something like this:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir/ mbox:~/Mailbox
...but it doesn't, so I'm stuck. :-(
By default, Dovecot would work for me if I moved all my users' ~/Mailbox
files to ~/mail/inbox but I really don't want to have to do that if at
all possible as that'll break other custom stuff.
Does anyone have any ideas?
[ Apologies if this is a FAQ - I've had a good Google around and a look at
the mail archives but can't find the info. ]
TIA,
Matt.

So, you could set "default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir" and then go add a mail env to all of your "legacy" users. -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net
