Convert plugin seems to have no effect with dovecot-1.0.rc26 and my settings.


When a user log, maildir creation is successful, but no mbox conversion occur.
New incoming mails are dropped into maildir, but I cant access those
in Mbox file.


I set the following in dovecot.con as describe on wiki.

mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/Maildir/%u
convert_mail: mbox:/var/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Any thoughts ? Is there a particular settings to use ? Anything wrong
with my setup ?
