Actually asked another way, "why should I waste time rtfm when I can just be lazy and waste everyone else's time with questions that I could otherwise easily answer myself?"...
Actually pal that's utter bollocks. I did RTFM, but I think it's widely recognised the Dovecot wiki (Replication especially) isn't as informative as it could be. If it was I wouldn't be asking for help.
Sorry, but it is a pet peeve of mine when someone provides an answer that makes it painfully obvious that they didn't even *try* to answer the question themself.
And that's fine. Despite your patronising tone, I appreciate you contribute heavily this thread and where you do offer help it is appreciated.
Look... I'm not looking for a spat here. This mailing list already has a few unhelpful toads without us adding to the list :-)
I plan to follow your advice and migrate a test mailbox to mdbox using the following command:
dsync -v -u username mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username
And adding the following to my dovecot.conf:
mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox
According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox, the Inbox will then be moved under $HOME:/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX.
Before I do this, my question is this - will Postfix automatically know where to find the inbox, or will I have to do modify my Postfix config somehow?
Thanks,
-Mark
