[Dovecot] Re: 0.99 mail env

Greetings, all

Last night I migrated our mail between two machines... both running 

dovecot 0.99.xx.

In the process, I wanted to make some small changes, namely that new 

mail be delivered to mboxs in /var/mail/%u and IMAP mail stored in Maildirs at ~/.imap ...

I tried using:

default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u

But had no luck.  Is it only 1.0 that can work with two different 

mailbox formats? Or did I screw up somewhere else?

In the end, it actualy saved me a fair bit of work, since I'd have 

had to move everyone's old inbox.

Hi Curtis

The current dovecot release is capable of handling mbox and maildir simultaneously. The directive you need is

default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
