[Dovecot] OS X Mail Administration
I'd like to request some feed back from any OS X Mail Admins on the
list, please.
Currently running 10.4.9 here using postfix / dovecot and I'm about
to take the plunge from mbox to maildir. I just migrated from uw-imap
to dovecot.
As you're aware, users inbox's are customarily stored in /var/mail/% username and personal folders under /Users/%username/Library/Mail/IMAP.
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.
Your input would be appreciated.
Thank you,

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.

Set dotlock_use_excl=yes. Without it you can run into all kinds of trouble with HFS+.
Got it!
Thanks.
