OK, I am attempting to use the userdb connection to facilitate per user migration to Maildir format from mbox. Here's the first user: more /home/dovecot.passwd health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152:/home/health:userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir The configuration was set up as: userdb passwd { } I changed this to: userdb passwd-file { args = /home/dovecot.conf } And unfortunately the dovecot daemon dies after successfully launching. Suggestions? -- Albert E.
