I'd like to give the dbox format a try, but I could not find any information on how to enable it. There's information on how to set mail_location for the Maildir and mbox formats in the wiki and also in the commented configuration file, but how to set it for dbox is strangely missing. I took a guess with 'mail_location = dbox:~/dbox', but that didn't work, so it's probably not the right way.

That's correct.

Also, the version of Dovecot that Debian installed was 1.0.15, which is kinda old. Should there any serious reasons why I should manually install a newer version if I'm going to use dbox?

v1.0's dbox is completely different from what v1.1 has. It's also not compiled in by default in v1.0. So don't even try using it.

Ok thanks, so I downloaded the recent 1.1.11 release. But I still don't know how to enable the dbox format. I think dovecot-example.conf should explain how to enable it, unless you really don't want people to use this format.
