I have to migrate some old system to new one with installed dovecot (It's my
first time using dovecot). I have all mails inside /var/spool/mail folder
(mbox files). I can connect and receive mails via POP3, but problem is that
dovecot doesn't clear mbox file (everytime when I make send/receive in
mailclient program I get all mails again).
If I look into log file I see (when I do send/receive in mail client
program)
