[Dovecot] Authentication with AD and quick mbox question

Hi,
I'm attempting to implement Dovecot 2.1.3 built on a FreeBSD 8.2 64
bit system from ports.
I had the servicve up and running on a local vbox demo which did a
very simple Maildir format sytem which was situated in ~/Maildir.
I would now like to expand the system and tie it to a Windows domain.
What is the best way to go about doing this?
Can Dovecot be directly tied in or do I need to tie the server in to the domain?
This is my current dovecot.conf file - which of course I will tweak
but as I am currently in the stage of building this is what I have so
far:
protocols = imap
# It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this
# by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier.
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
# Disable SSL for now.
ssl = no
disable_plaintext_auth = no
# We're using Maildir format
#mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_location = mbox:/mail:INBOX=/mail/%u
# If you're using POP3, you'll need this:
#pop3_uidl_format = %g
# Authentication configuration:
auth_verbose = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd
}
userdb {
# driver = static
# args = uid=root gid=root home=/root/
driver = static
args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/ZPOOL_1/%u
}
Is this correct to use mbox++ format and store under /mail/%u ??
Can anybody give me some advice?
Regards,
Kaya
