Works well if I use default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

but everything stays in mbox format

How can I set new users to Maildir format, old ones with mbox,

If I use default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir

mailboxes get created in Maildir but I don't get any new email

the new emails are sent to /var/mail/%u right now.

if you're using wu-imap, you'll need this for pop to work.

pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu

and if your site is relatively big, dovecot may run out of file descriptors, you may need to use this.

/usr/bin/plimit -n 8192,8192 cat /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/master.pid

and watch the logs :)

...

In the process of migrating to Dovecot 1.0beta3, any tips or step-by-step instructions that might relate to Solaris 9.

Thanks
