Hello,
I have recently installed Mailscanner/postfix for the mail server and dovecot for (mainly remote) access to email (via T'bird etc. and/or Webmail). Most users still use text mail clients (mutt, pine, some still old elm) while in the office. These clients access mail (both incoming at /var/mail/ and users' private folders in ~/Mail) directly.
I wonder whether this mixing of dovecot and non-dovecot access can make any problems, provide, of course, that the users are not using both ways at the same time. AFAIK dovecot makes some indexing. Will it not be confused if the folder is changed and de-sync-ed with the index?
regards, Michal.
