dovecot - Jun 2006 - different locations for different reals

Hi

I've been reading a lot, but I think I'am confused about namespaces.

We are planning a migration of our pshychical mail storage. This will mean
that subfolders are moving from /home to /var/spool/mail. I was thinking,
for the migrations of creating a realm.
I would like that if a user logs in with his username, the old location is
used, if the user logs in with username at REALM, the subfolders are to be
searched in the new location, is this possible? Can I use a different mail
location per realm?

thx in advance
Arne

I think the best way to handle this would be to have the usernames and
user at realms as different users in userdb. Then for one of those have
default_mail_env point to correct location and for the other one have
the userdb return "mail" environment pointing to the different
location.
If you're using passwd as your userdb you'll need something different
though.
