It is possible with 0.99 series to have inbox as mbox and remaining as Maildir.

It is possible also for some users to use mbox and other users Maildir, but only if _not_ setting default_mail_env (the internal default is to probe if a valid Maildir exists and fall back to mbox if not).

With 1.0 series anything (except making coffee) is possible...

Correct me somebody if I am wrong here...

Is it possible to simultaneously have both maildir and mbox folders? Perhaps something like

~/mail/folder1 ~/mail/folder2

~/Maildir/.folder3 ~/Maildir/.folder4

Let me rephrase that, using dovecot v1.0-test40 how do I configure it to be able to access the above four folders. Do I need to play some games with namespaces? Should I set default_mail_env to some magic or perhaps do something completely different.

You'll need to create namespaces. For example:

namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = location = maildir:~/Maildir }

namespace private { separator = / prefix = mbox/ location = mbox:~/mail }

~/mail mboxes then show up under mbox/ folder while the rest is maildir.

No.

It seems the most stable one is the most recent one - but yes, if you want true official stability you will probably have to wait...

Actually no. That just makes it treat /var/mail/%u as INBOX Maildir. Unless I've accidentally changed something? :)

Hmm, I could have sworn I have run it in this configuration before!
