<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am at wits end...So far it seems dovecot is light
years ahead of UW-IMAP. Glad to have UW-IMAP behind me...well
almost.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My setup = Sendmail 8.13.4 with Procmail delivery
to /var/spool/mail/<userfile></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
openssl 0.9.8</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
dovecot 0.99.11</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to continue to use the standard mbox with
all the user's mail stored in /var/spool/mail/<userfile>. User's are
known to this mail server via NIS and ALL data is mounted accress NFS in
read only mode on this machine, including ~home directories. I want to run
dovecot like UW-IMAP...trying to keep it simple-->mail delivery to mbox
/var/spool/mail/<username>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My /etc/dovecot.conf:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried both default_ mail_env =
INBOX:/var/spool/mail/%u:INBOX:INDEX=MEMORY with and with out the
INBOX:INDEX=MEMORY</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to disable the indicies feature. We
don't need it we're about 20 engineers or so who want to continue to use the
/var/spool/mail mbox-the original Sendmail location.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most users are downloading every piece of mail
through OutHouse or Pine, aka OutLook.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I keep getting failed to create storage meaages in
/var/log/maillog...</FONT></DIV>
