If I understand correctly, the typical default Dovecot/maildir format installation will have both the INBOX and folders (prefixed with a period), so they take the format: .<foldername>) under ~/Maildir. Right? I am planning to do a gradual phaseover of one chunk of ids at a time........
Perhaps easiest would be to first use Dovecot with mbox, and move to maildir only after that?
Is there any way to make this transparent and separate the changes to dovecot and the delivery agent? That is, if you have a Maildir INBOX, have dovecot automatically move anything it finds in your unix mbox INBOX there, merging with existing contents?
Well, convert plugin was designed for a one-time transparent user moving when the user receives a new mail or when user logs in.
But if you mean that you'd keep the MDA delivering mails to mbox and have Dovecot always automatically move the mails from mbox to maildir, that's not possible now.
