Hi, I'm planning to migrate from dovecot/mbox to dovecot/maildir both using imap.

I have read that when using the Maildir storage format, all folders are stored under the INBOX. Is this true in dovecot too?

No. You can do that if you want to with namespaces, but Dovecot by default doesn't force you to.

I want to have a configuration like the current:

• new mail is delivered in /var/mail/USER
• user folders are in /home/USER/mail

I want to ask if this is posible in dovecot?

Maybe using a config like this: default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%u/Maildir

Looks like that'd work. Except they go to "Maildir" and not "mail" directory in home as you said :)
