[dovecot] Maildir plus mbox?
is it possible with dovecot to have the inbox in Maildir format and additional imap folders in mbox format?

Currently no, but it's mostly just because I haven't figured out how it should be configured.
I think they should be in their own namespaces at least. So that default Maildir namespace has your INBOX, and then there would be #mbox/ namespace. That's how uw-imapd supports different mailbox formats. Dovecot doesn't have any namespace configuration support yet, but I'll probably add that soon.
If you really wanted it now, it wouldn't be too difficult to kludge into the code though :)

what we would like to do, is have a Maildir INBOX on the server and have the users create/use additional mbox folders in ~/mail/ via their clients.
