I am using dovecot in an SMEServer (aka e-smith), and recently backed-up on one system and restored on another system the imap email directories. The trouble was that dovecot "guessed" the mail type wrongly, and I ended up with "empty" ~/Mail directories (did it create or populate these?), and full, but ignored ~/Maildir directories for every user.
Could someone point me to the chapter and verse of how (and when) dovecot decides which type of mail is in use, and how you can change the decision. I tried editing /etc/dovecot.conf, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Using dovecot 0.99-10 under a Redhat 7.3 base on kernel 2.4.20-18.7
