   Hi Wojciech
                Thanks for your comeback..

   I'm trying to switch dovecot to MBox, not just make archives.
   BTW: I use http://yergler.net/projects/one-off/maildir-to-mbox as
        it's much smaller and very simple to use to make archives.

     Does anyone else know the correct way to either switch the
   existing Maildir multiple file format to the single MBox file
   format. Failing that, though it will mean a LOT of work, how do I
   get dovecot to work in future in MBox single file format.
   I've entered  'mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/%h/%u' in the
   'dovecot.conf', but it still saves each message in a file of its
   own in the /new /cur /tmp directories ??

                                                Thanks,
                                                        Nick. . . . .
