Actually pal that's utter bollocks. I did RTFM, but I think it's
widely recognised the Dovecot wiki (Replication especially) isn't as
informative as it could be. If it was I wouldn't be asking for help.

And that's fine. Despite your patronising tone, I appreciate you
contribute heavily this thread and where you do offer help it is
appreciated.
Look... I'm not looking for a spat here. This mailing list already
has a few unhelpful toads without us adding to the list :-)
I plan to follow your advice and migrate a test mailbox to mdbox using
the following command:
dsync -v -u username mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username
And adding the following to my dovecot.conf:
mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox
According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox, the Inbox
will then be moved under $HOME:/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX.
Before I do this, my question is this - will Postfix automatically
know where to find the inbox, or will I have to do modify my Postfix
config somehow?
Thanks,
-Mark
