Hi,
I'd like to create a shared folder to be used with an Outlook client and a Thunderbird client. We're currently using mboxes.
I've read the documentation here about creating a shared folder: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared
It doesn't make reference to how to do this using mbox format. Is it possible? Should we convert to Maildir? Perhaps there's a way to provide both formats?
You should never use mbox for anything other than maybe read-only archival storage.
Use Maildir++ if you need to be compatible with anything accessing the mail other than Dovecot or better yet, use Dovecots own sdbox format.
I think the reason we're still using mbox is for historical reasons - these mailboxes are decades old.
Should I investigate an mbox2maildir conversion? Can I be sure it will do it properly?
Thanks, Alex
Grüße, Sven.
