I switched from mbox to maildir format a long time ago and dovecot understands maildir format just fine.
I know. But there are several variants of maildir, and I don't which one dovecot uses - if it is the same variant of kmail, or another one.
The other thing I don't know, but I think not, is whether dovecot can store some folders as maildir and others as mbox or whatever.
No, I don't think it will do this - I'm pretty sure it's one or the other.. However, google mbox2maildir - you'll find a useful script (perl, iirc) that will convert your mbox files to maildir format and allow you to switch cleanly (but back up the mbox files first, jist in case). That is what I did years ago. I may even still have a copy of that script around somewhere - I'm pretty sure I kept it. I'll check tonight when I return from work if you're interested.
No, I don't need that, I don't like maildir. I would like to have diferent formats on different folders depending on the contents. Then I would use maildir for some folders that contain big emails, and mbox for those containing thousands of small emails, like this one. Dovecot has it's own format, that is a mixture of mbox and maildir; I would use that one if procmail understood it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
