I think I will have to stay with the 1.x branch since we have to stick to using approved rpm's (internal policy) and fedora 13 does not have a 2.x branch that I see yet. So maildir it is for now. I see my error on the inbox not getting the new mail. That was one of those "all nighter" errors that I just plain missed due to lack of sleep. I forgot to point postfix to the proper place to deliver the mail. So once I setup postfix to deliver the mail properly and the dovecot convert plugin is setup, is there a way to gradually migrate the users so I don't kill the server? We have about 220GB or so of mail between about 160+/- users. What would be the best way to migrate it all to maildir?
In my test to convert a mbox situation (sendmail) to Dovecot, I used script similar to that below. The conversion is done with the mb2md.pl script and all takes place when a user logs in. The fact that $@ is destroyed by the awk does not seem to harm. YMMV!
I used the hooks provided in the dovecot config file (thanks Timo) where you can call a script instead of the IMAP exec. Details are in the 1.x dovecot wiki.
