<pre wrap="">Hello,
I have a setup where each user has different mailbox
formats (some use only /var/spool/mail/user) mailbox format,
some is stored in mbx format ~/INBOX or ~/mbox and
some is stored in maildir format in ~/Mail/
I currently use UW-IMAP to read /var/spool/mail/... and the mbx format
mailboxes in ~/INBOX and mutt to read ~/Mail/... (the maildirs in ~/Mail/
are created by procmail rules)
Does dovecot make it possible to also read the maildir directories i have
in ~/Mail/ without having to reconfigure the delivery/imap system for all
users?

Yes, if you use Dovecot-1.0-alpha1 (or 1.0-stable) and namespaces, or
use a userdb format that lets you specify a mail_env for each user (SQL
or passwd-file, I think). Dovecot can't read mbx format mailboxes;
they're pretty UW-specific.
Best Wishes,
Chris

If you look in the wiki I posted a conversion script to convert from
MBX to MBOX.<br>
