Very informative yes, but at the same time it seems to make the same mistake all people make when writing documentation. There are many assumptions made that a lot of fundamental knowledge of how mail works is known to the reader. For example, the term "mbox" is simply used. It's not really described anywhere (admittedly, that I could find) what mbox is. It took much looking, and in fact one respondent to my question, a week ago, about what mbox and MAILDIR were, didn't respond with a dovecot wiki page but instead a wikipedia page. This really shouldn't be. This is only meant as constructive criticism, I'm not trying to be condemning here. Andy -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
