As an alternative to an LDA, would it be possible to let
deliveries go to /var/spool/mail in mbox format, then
have dovcot (in imap mode only) transparently move them
to maildir with appropriate indexing?   I'd prefer to have
mbox format for users that use pop to download everything
but have maildir folders for imap users who keep things
on the server.
