Actually this works :-) Our userdb looks similar to: account1:xyz:000:000::/account1s/home/dir::userdb_mail=maildir:/account1s/home/dir/Maildir account2:xyz:000:000::/account2s/home/dir::userdb_mail=mdbox:/ account2s/home/dir http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields Concerning Maildir backups: what about a backup-to-disc-to-tape scheme using snapshots for the "to-disc" part and something like perpetual incrementals afterwards for the "top-tape" (secondary store) ?
