There is one feature of the old WashU imapd that I miss, though. That daemonn could be configured to automatically transfer the user's email to the "~/mbox" upon activation of the daemon, effectively reducing the size of the /var/spool/mail/{username}" mail spool and helping keep the user's disk usage in their home directories, not in /var/spool/mail. This can be a good thing for various reasons.
But I don't see any way to enable that behavior for dovecot. Is there something I'm missing, or do folks feel it would be reasonable to add?
By chance, I have just set that up. :)
My default mailbox goes to ~/Mail/INBOX; adjust to your liking. Set up sendmail/postfix/whatever to use maildrop as your local mailer, add
DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/INBOX
to /etc/courier/maildroprc
and set
default_mail_env = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=%h/Mail/INBOX
-- that's all.
