I had a small problem with this:
[joakim@naru BUILD]$ export MAIL=mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/joakim ; echo "1 status inbox (messages)" | /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
returns:
- PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS] Logged in as joakim imap(joakim): Error: open(/var/spool/mail/.temp.naru.home.32308.e74f92ade9b3bf72) failed: Permission denied imap(joakim): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/spool/mail/joakim: Permission denied 1 NO Internal error occured.

I have this in my dovecot.conf:
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
so how can I get imap to read the configuration in this use case?
It's a "tag". Something like sequence id, but it doesn't have to be numeric. Server just replies to that command with the same tag.
ok, thanks for the explanation.
Nice! But will it work together with procmail?
I'm pretty sure it does, although I'm not very good with procmail (and I don't want to be). After the Dovecot LDA gets Sieve support, there's not that much reason to use procmail.
Thats sounds very nice. I dont have any experince with Sieve, but after what I googled after this mail exchange, it seems nicer than procmail.
So maybe I can convert my procmail stuff to Sieve in anticipation of dovecot LDA getting Sieve support then.
