Let me explain it "by example": I use dbox mailbox. In dbox-Mails folder I have message files named: 1) u.99 [dbox created file name] 2) 1231249011.P20963Q0M722109.shevek:2,Sa [dovecot maildir created&modified name] 3) 1.:2,Sa [cyrus name, modified by dovecot maildir] [ I have used my own cyrus to maildir conversion scripts] "Inconsistent" conventions for names of "email message file" is not a very big deal after one conversion but it may lead (IMHO) to very ugly chaos after a few conversions (after a 5-10 years of persistent use). -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." -- Vince Lombardi, football coach
