I have INBOX'es in maildir format in
e.g. /var/spool/mail/<domain>/<user>/{cur,new,etc.}
works just fine.
Just so long as you are completely consistent and all the MDA,
readers etc are configured for that. As I see it sendmail/postfix deals with it; procmail
deals with it;
spamassassin deals with it; and if you are using Thunderbird to read
files rather than a server like dovecot, then Thunderbird deals with
it.
I don't see it like that :-) After receiving and filtering with
Spamassassin, postfix delivers incoming mails to dovecot, dovecot
(optionally) stores them in the maildir after they've been filtered by
sieve, then updates the index. To read them, each client has to use
IMAP. (clients include TB, roundcube, smartphones, outlook etc).
The only thing that stops me letting Thundebird read
all this, and yes
late-model Thunderbird *can* handle both mbox and maildir, is that
Thunderbird is on my workstation and not the mail server.
IMAP? Why are you running dovecot if it isn't as an IMAP server?
So no, I don't think that "there's only
*ONE* software dealing with
it".
Perhaps, if you don't take the point I'm trying to make here, you'd
care to explain the "only one".
See above. Really, in my setup the only software that
accesses/deals/fiddles with the maildir is dovecot.
