Hello,
I want to use dovecot as imap server with mbox storage format (described at [1]) but I also want to access (and modify!) those mbox files which are stored on server (and used by dovecot).
What is correct way to read those mboxes? From wiki page [1] I read that I should ignore first message in mbox (which contains X-IMAPbase header) and mbox file is in mboxcl2 format.
And what is correct way to modify that mbox file (which is used by dovecot imap)? I would like to configure mutt on server to directly access those mbox mailboxes without need to use imap protocol (over localhost). It is possible without any data/message damage?
Just out of curiosity: why are you interested in handling the files manually when dovecot and IMAP protocol can already do that for you?
Even when accessing the files directly from the server, dovecot will handle possible file correction, access control, file permissions etc all for you. Using IMAP to localhost with mutt still gives you all of the above, maybe including other nice IMAP-related benefits such as FTS etc.
