To: Gerhard Hofmann Funny you should ask... I just swung my box over from MBOX to MAILDIR and to be honest it works like a top. About the only issue I had was when I was experimenting with the IMAP portion of the server and Outlook XP/2000. With Outlook I received several 'timeout msgs' or 'not connected'. With the option below:
imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle
I would just simply click on 'Connect' or 'Send/Receive' and I was good to go once more. Other than that, it ran like a top... Will L G

Hi list,
first of all, many thanks to the Dovecot authors for supplying an IMAP server that works well with M$-Outlook! I have used UW-imapd for quite a while and was annoyed by frequent "imap...timeout..." error messages.
Now I'd like to give maildir format a try because I want to use email sub-folders. What are other Outlook users' experiences with maildir? Is it as stable as mbox?
Regards Gerhard
