[Dovecot] Different Formats Per User?
For migration possibilities, we're considering whether it's possible to have Dovecot run some users using standard Maildir format, while other users would be using filesystem (LAYOUT=fs) format? We could determine which one's users have, but is there a way to tell Dovecot this information, and is it even part of the Dovecot design to deal with this scenario?
Thanks, Tony

I haven't tried 2.0, but in the 1.1 series we accomplished this by
having a small C shim that ran on login and delivery, which checked a
telltale sign (in our case, whether /var/mail/user was a real file or
a symlink to ~/Maildir), and setting namespace environment variables
based on that.

What userdb do you use? You could have it return "mail=maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs" field for the non-standard users. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase
