Are there any plans to add this option?  How difficult would it be to
change Dovecot to check the type on open?  Any guidance on how to do
that?

In the meanwhile I've checked a few other changes in Dovecot
1.0-stable, and it seems to work relatively well.  However the
possibility of mixing mbox and maildir is really missing.

  Thanks,
