I have a backup of mail messages I have from back when i was in school using pine and I want to have them imported to my Gmail. So I set up dovecot and my Gmail can access it just fine but it can't find anything except my inbox (which I can't even find). I've moved my mail directory and I can view the emails using alpine but I cannot view my inbox using alpine. Also, although Gmail can get my new test messages, it can't find the messages in ~/mail where I am viewing them with alpine. How do I make it so Gmail can pull from ~/mail or ~/Maildir because I also converted the messages in ~/mail to ~/Maildir format but although I've tried mail_location = mbox:~/mail mail_location = mbox:~/Maildir mail_location = maildir:~/mail and mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir None of this worked but mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir is the only one that will at least allow me to get test messages in my inbox which Gmail can then pull. How do I resolve these issues? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In all things, Be Intentional. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Wouldn't doveadm user myaddress at domain.com tell you the mail directory?
