Hello
I'm running dovecot v1.0.beta3 on a fedora 4 machine.
I have two kinds of clients:
- first use IMAP and receive their mails (maildir) in /home/%u/mail
- second use POP and receive their mails (mbox) in /var/mail/%u
Problem is when I want to provide an access for second with squirrelmail which use IMAP, as the INBOX is in /var/mail/%u and IMAP settings tell that INBOX is in /home/%u/mail, they can't view their emails.
Is there a way to tell to dovecot to search IMAP mails both in /home/%u/mail and in /var/mail/%u
Thanks

You can do this if you have a userdb as passwd-file (or mysql, I think) where you can store the mail_env for that user, something like:
pop3user1:x:1234:1234:::/home/pop3user1::mbox:/var/mail/pop3user1 imapuser1:x:1235:1235:::/home/imapuser1::maildir:/home/imapuser1/mail
note that passdb doesn't need to be the same (we use LDAP via PAM, and build our userdb file overnight from NIS).
Best Wishes, Chris
