[Dovecot] Dovecot Sendmail Maildir

[Gabriel Granger]

Hi Alan,

Cheers for that, I managed to get it working looking at differnet  
documents via our good friend google.  Now I need to work out how to  
migrate all my users from mbox to maildir.  I believe there are  
scripts / apps for doing this, I will consult google again.  Thanks  
for the pointers

Gabe
