Hello Everyone,

I'm using dovecot 1.0.7 (not sure how relevant it is though) 

configured to handle both sytem users and virtual users. The system users are handled by default (PAM), while the virtual users are handled pretty much like this:

passdb passwd-file { args = /var/spool/vmail/%d/auth/%n }

...And mailbox and folder location settings:

userdb static { args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/spool/vmail/%d/mail/%n mail=mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n:INBOX=mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/mail/%n }

Everything works perfectly with the inbox and mail foder in mbox 

format. Now, what I'm trying to accomplish is to reconfigure dovecot to create and handle the secondary mail folders (/home/user/mail for system users and /var/spool/vmail/domainname/imap/user/imap for virtual users) in maildir format.

I tried to define some name spaces to make this happen, but 

whatever I to do make one work (either the virtual users or the system users) would make the other non-functional. By example, I have these name space definitions and the virtual users work fine with maildir:

namespace private { separator = / prefix = "#mbox/" location = mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vmail/%d/mail/%n inbox = yes hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n hidden = yes }

Maybe I didn't fully understand the namespace concept, but I was 

unable to make them apply only to one location of the imap folders locations or another.

Can anyone give me a hand with this, if this setup is even 

possible?
