Is it possible for a client to read both mbox and Maildir formats from one server running dovecot?

Without changing default_mail_env in dovecot.conf, Maildir folders are working ... they're located in ~/Maildir. No /var/mail/username exists. I have mbox format folders in ~/mail and have been trying to get pine to find them by adding pine folder collections. I always end up back in ~/Maildir, though.

Within same session it's currently not possible to use both mbox and maildir folders. Different users could access both mbox and maildir with the autodetection code (~/Maildir if exists, fallbacks to ~/mail).

Accessing both with same user would mostly be a configuration and namespace issue. I'd rather not add code for those before supporting shared folders.
