It makes things a lot simpler in some cases (e.g. if you share some folders between users, or if you're using dsync-over-ssh and don't want to give it root). >>> - is it possible to migrate old maildirs to use with dovecot >> It is possible, Maildir can be used directly, mbox transferred. >> There also exists an courier-dovecot-migrate script that rewrites >> couriers index et. al. for dovecot. >> (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier) Or you can use "doveadm sync" with an imap source. If you want to convert to something other than Maildir (for example mdbox, which works well) then that would let you do it in a single step.
