Software is Centos7, Dovecot 2.2.10
Use that single mailbox with IMAP, others stay to POP
Thanks, I considered that and looked up the ways to restrict IMAP access. But:
How will the IMAP account behave with the current mail_location setting below?
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
That is, where will the IMAP account's mail "go"? Right now it goes to /var/mail/[localusername]. Maybe incorrectly, I assumed IMAP required Maildir format? How are folders handled with this setting?. The one IMAP account would be used for spamassassin training, it would need 2 shared/public folders ("spam", "ham").
IMAP has always worked fine with mbox format. Dovecot, WU IMAP, plus others

I will state that I use 100% mbox files with current dovecot 2.2, with zero issues. Pigeonhole, imapsieve, et al.
Works great. And I have ~56G of mbox files and associated dovecot indexes.
