<b>Betreff:</b> RE: convert mdbox to maildir</div>
<div name="quoted-content">*My* inbox gets filled with thousands of emails, more or less commercial content and trivial notifications from shopping online, and postfix crashes and will not accept new messages if the file "/var/mail/justina" becomes too large.<br/>
<br/>
Configuring postfix to deliver the mail to "~/Maildir" solved that problem.<br/>
<br/>
I still need to configure a sieve or a filter or some nicer mechanism to clear out messages that are either outright spam or too old or no longer of interest to me.<br/>

We need to move all users from one (pretty old) installation of dovecot<br/>
to a new one.<br/>
The old one uses mdbox for users' mailboxes and maildir for<br/>
shared/public mailboxes.<br/>
The new one must be maildir only.</blockquote>
<br/>
why did you decide to move to maildir?<br/>
