Hi,

I need to merge mail data from two companies to one - i could attach the second storage via NFS which has the sdbox mailbox format while the other one is maildir. Is it possible to have two mail locations with different mailbox formats (maildir and sdbox) on one dovecot instance?

Regardless of whether this is possible or not - what is the procedure to switch from maildir to sdbox?

I've actually as mail_location set: mail_location = maildir:/srv/vmail/%d/%n/maildir

And for the shared namespace: location = maildir:/srv/vmail/%%d/%%n/maildir:INDEX=~/maildir/shared/%%u:CONTROL=~/maildir/shared/%%u

How would they look like for sdbox?

mail_location most likely: mail_location = sdbox:/srv/vmail/%d/%n/sdbox

But how would the location look like for the shared namespace?

thx, Alex

You can have per-user mailstore format.

sdbox shared location looks like

location = sdbox:/srv/vmail/%%d/%%n/sdbox:INDEXPVT=~/sdbox/shared/%%u
