I have an courier IMAP server running. To get sib dirs working I had to rename them all to begin with a period ".". e.g Maildir Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account1/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account2/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account3/{cur,new,tmp} etc If I uninstall Courier and install dovecot, will these "period" dirs be seen by default? I am fairly new to this and sometimes it seems that Maildir format requirements vary a lot depending on client or server. Thank you for your help.

Dovecot and Courier use compatible Maildir++ directory structure where mailboxes all begin with a dot. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir explains it more. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Out of curiosity how did you handle the courierimapsubscribed and courierimapuiddb file name differences? Did you just rename them?
