[Dovecot] migrating from uw imapd

[Craig]

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate from uw imapd to dovecot.

I'm having two problems at the moment.

1. uw imapd grabs new mail from /var/mail/user and then shoves it into ~/mbox, is there any way to make dovecot handle this kind of setup or am I better off merging ~/mbox back into /var/mail/user? If merging is better are what tools are best for this?

2. While I did have have everything in ~/Mail coming up dovetail stopped working and logs the following error:

syslog:Jul 19 23:01:07 epsilon3 imap-login: Login: haakon [192.168.0.107]
syslog:Jul 19 23:01:07 epsilon3 imap(haakon): Failed to create storage with data: ~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/haakon
syslog:Jul 19 23:01:07 epsilon3 dovecot: child 10417 (imap) returned error 89

any idea what is causing this?

Regards,
Craig.
