My sub-folder with Outlook work-around to date - update 201710111315 - Final

[David.M.Clark]

Hi All,

After over a week of stuffing around in /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and 
lots of trial and error, I now have a controlled setup to migrate one 
user at a time to Maildir without affecting the other mbox based users.

For the sake of not posting an essay, if you go to this web page:

http://dmc1961.id.au/howto_17101101.php

you will see what I have done (moderators please let me know if this is 
the correct or allowable practice to post links rather than massive 
e-mails to the group?).

My sincere thanks to all who contributed and helped steer me in the 
right direction - I got a little lost on-line for a while but eventually 
got back to the right setup (our beloved Linux does have a few different 
file locations and setup based on the releases out there, so these were 
a little confusing).

Working well now on my test environment and on a test user on the 
client's box we need to convert, so if there are any more gotchas I will 
add them to the how-to web page and update you all.

Was a battle at times but it was a war worth winning.

As always, I remain at your service.

Kindest Regards,
David.M.Clark (Director - Senior Linux/UNIX Consultant)
