Hello people,
Since the invention of this storage called dbox, I have never quite gotten round to understanding it, nor getting to use it. It seems so strange to me and I must ask a few stupid questions about it. I use the MTA to deliver mail to Maildir, either in ~/Maildir or /some/path/%d/%n/Maildir. It has always beat me how dbox comes into play under such circumstances. From the wiki, I see the following: "dbox supports a quick migration from Maildir format" - now this leaves me hanging. How? Suppose I migrate from Maildir to dbox, what changes do I make to the MTA to understand that I use dbox? Ok, I use Exim as my MTA.
I hope someone can explain to me what I need to do to Exim and what to do th Dovecot so that I can test this dbox thing. And suppose I want to transfer userA's mail to UserB, what do I do? With Maildir, I can simply do something like
exim does not know about dbox (it's a dovecot-specific format). You'd need to configure exim to use dovecot's deliver as LDA. There are instructions for that in the Wiki.
