I've updated http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation regarding a typical
mail_location entry for dbox.
Previously it said:
mail_location = dbox:~/dbox
but of course "dbox" is now the old name for "sdbox", so the example
should be updated to say "sdbox" and there might/ought also to be an
example for "mdbox".
In http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox the example mail_location
for mdbox is given as "mdbox:~/mdbox", so I have followed that for
"MailLocation".
So I have changed it to say
# single-dbox
mail_location = sdbox:~/dbox
or:
# multi-dbox
mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox
I didn't know whether to change the directory for sdbox to "~/sdbox" or
to leave it as it is.
For the time being I have left it at "~/dbox" --- following the example
given should allow new installations of Dovecot 2 to be able to read any
existing single-dbox data which used the historically-suggested "~/dbox"
location, whilst at the same time avoiding using the old mailbox format
name of "dbox".
