General IMAP question

[Larry Rosenman]

I will state that I use 100% mbox files with current dovecot 2.2, with zero issues.  Pigeonhole, imapsieve, et al. 

Works great. And I have ~56G of mbox files and associated dovecot indexes.

    IMAP has always worked fine with mbox format.  Dovecot, WU IMAP, plus others
