Hey, I'm trying to sort out how to make dovecot replace uw-imap cleanly. But I have the following problems/questions: 1. Why is mbox support limited to user-owned directories? 2. Would it be possible to have dovecot target a different place than ~user/mail by default, specfically some place like /var/path/to/maildirs/userdir/ I'd like to move all my mail storage out of user homedirs and
