[Dovecot] Newbie question: How to make dovecot read /var/mail/user while using Maildir

[Lars Skovgaard]

Hi

I've been trying to figure out how to make dovecot read the system 
standard /var/mail/user, which is in mbox-format, while at the same 
time using Maildir as the preferred method of storage. When in 
Maildir-mode, I can store mail on the server without a hitch, but I 
don't receive mails. When in mbox-format, I can read and write, but the 
risk of corrupting mails is to high for me to consider mbox as an 
option.

I would appreciate to hear from anyone who has a possible solution to 
this.

Info about my system:

MacOSX 10.2 Jaguar
Apache 2.0.47 running Squirrelmail 1.4.2
PHP 4.3.2
Sendmail 8.12.9
Procmail v3.21
