As I some day also started with default maildir, in non-fs-layout, I also had to do the migration for my home server. But that were only 2 mailboxes with ca 200 folders in sum. Therefore I did this only with find, s/./\//g, and mkdir -p or so.. The config to apply this only for one user might work when you don't use PAM for the users database. I do this on my hosting setup (a directory like /etc/vmail/passwd/$domain and /etc/vmail/aliases/$domain) and in these passwd-like files is room for extra stuff like possibly this. You might want to read all the stuff under http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields Regards, Andre -- Andre Klärner Telefon: 0351/79666546 Fax: 0351/79688547 Mobil: 0172/9838653 Anschrift: Prohliser Allee 43 01239 Dresden Diese E-Mail ist mittels S/MIME signiert worden.
