[Dovecot] Moving new email from the mail spool to the inbox

[Andy Shellam]

Hi Adrian,

I'm thinking this is more of an issue with your MTA, as usually that's 
responsible for delivering into the mailbox's Inbox.

You might want to look at Dovecot's LDA, "deliver" 
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA).
Deliver takes an e-mail piped from your MTA, with appropriate options on 
the command-line, and delivers it into the relevant mailbox correctly.

Regards,

Andy.
