I am at wits end...So far it seems dovecot is light years ahead of UW-IMAP. Glad to have UW-IMAP behind me...well almost.
My setup = Sendmail 8.13.4 with Procmail delivery to /var/spool/mail/<userfile> openssl 0.9.8 dovecot 0.99.11
I want to continue to use the standard mbox with all the user's mail stored in /var/spool/mail/<userfile>. User's are known to this mail server via NIS and ALL data is mounted accress NFS in read only mode on this machine, including ~home directories. I want to run dovecot like UW-IMAP...trying to keep it simple-->mail delivery to mbox /var/spool/mail/<username>.
My /etc/dovecot.conf:
I tried both default_ mail_env = INBOX:/var/spool/mail/%u:INBOX:INDEX=MEMORY with and with out the INBOX:INDEX=MEMORY
I want to disable the indicies feature. We don't need it we're about 20 engineers or so who want to continue to use the /var/spool/mail mbox-the original Sendmail location.
Most users are downloading every piece of mail through OutHouse or Pine, aka OutLook.
I keep getting failed to create storage meaages in /var/log/maillog...

As you can see I am spoping just fine....
Thanks in advance for ANY help!!!!!!!!!
