Hi

I've been reading a lot, but I think I'am confused about namespaces.

We are planning a migration of our pshychical mail storage. This will mean that subfolders are moving from /home to /var/spool/mail. I was thinking, for the migrations of creating a realm. I would like that if a user logs in with his username, the old location is used, if the user logs in with username@REALM, the subfolders are to be searched in the new location, is this possible? Can I use a different mail location per realm?

I think the best way to handle this would be to have the usernames and user@realms as different users in userdb. Then for one of those have default_mail_env point to correct location and for the other one have the userdb return "mail" environment pointing to the different location. If you're using passwd as your userdb you'll need something different though.
