I'm new to dovecott. Using version 1.0.rc15.
I have a mail server that has both the old style unix mbox in /var/mail/%u, and virtual mail maildir in /var/vmail/%d/%n. Debian Linux Etch stable. I'm trying to get dovecot to deliver to /var/mail/%u using mbox format, and to deliver to /var/vmail/%d/%n using maildir format. I can't get it do work. I can get it to access both directories, but not use the two formats. This is what I tried last:
How would Dovecot know which one to use for which users?
Oh, you had sql and passwd users. So I assume you want sql users to use maildir and passwd users to use mbox? In that case use:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
And override it for sql users in dovecot-sql.conf:
user_query = select .., 'maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n' as mail, ..
