I'd appreciate if you'd share with me the directory structure that
you use, or would use in my situation. All mail storage will be on
the server so disk space is not an issue. I'm a bit confused
whether or not to keep the inbox separate from the other imap
structure as is the OS X default: should all mailboxes be under
inbox, etc.
i run an os x server, and keep it simply as a server, so there's no
need to match the mail storage w/ the apple mail layout. since i
only have a handful of users, i use $HOME/Maildir for each account,
then let the client machines/apps do as they wish. if i had more
users if would move it into /var and use a different authentication
scheme. the only difference from a linux setup is that most things
dovecot don't seem as well tested under os x since there are fewer of
us.
