Hi All,

After over a week of stuffing around in /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and lots of trial and error, I now have a controlled setup to migrate one user at a time to Maildir without affecting the other mbox based users.

For the sake of not posting an essay, if you go to this web page:

http://dmc1961.id.au/howto_17101101.php

you will see what I have done (moderators please let me know if this is the correct or allowable practice to post links rather than massive e-mails to the group?).

My sincere thanks to all who contributed and helped steer me in the right direction - I got a little lost on-line for a while but eventually got back to the right setup (our beloved Linux does have a few different file locations and setup based on the releases out there, so these were a little confusing).

Working well now on my test environment and on a test user on the client's box we need to convert, so if there are any more gotchas I will add them to the how-to web page and update you all.

Was a battle at times but it was a war worth winning.

As always, I remain at your service.
