Hi All,
After over a week of stuffing around in /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and
lots of trial and error, I now have a controlled setup to migrate one
user at a time to Maildir without affecting the other mbox based users.
For the sake of not posting an essay, if you go to this web page:

Hi Mike,
I haven't seen your messages come through the feed so something is not
working for your e-mail address there?
No I am not using Sieve - the server has a third party handling spam etc
so the Linux box is very basic SendMail, Dovecot and RoundCube setup

Hi All,
Will start using an "update" tag in my subject just to not cause
confusion (mainly for yours truly).
Pursuant to my victory in finding Maildir and mbox being used if either
exist (and if both still seems to favour Maildir - a mistake my end:
"rmdir -f mail" fixed it), I have found on
Wow excellent feedback Joseph, Philon and Aki,
You have all pointed me in the right direction. Tonight I have tested
Dovecot with just the minor configs I do for Dovecot setup and I have
commented out the mbox/Maildir lines in 10-mail.conf from my testing:
#mail_location =
#mail_location = mb
You can give mail location and home directory from userdb or passdb.
For userdb, return mail=something:~/something and for home use
home=/path/to/home
For passdb, you can return userdb_mail and userdb_home

Hi David,
I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from
per-user-settings. I had this once when migrating from maildir to mdbox.
You might want to use Google and the mailing list archives for the details but
in summary it went like this:

Hi All,
Thanks to MJ for the suggestion as my only hope, and I have tested this
with Outlook 2016 and Thunderbird today - seamless creation of folders.
Now the mammoth task of converting customers with masses of mbox folders

Thanks for the reply MJ.
Good to hear it works in MailDir format - might need to look at this.
To date I have only had this issue with Outlook and for me personally on
Fedora with Thunderbird, I tend to keep a heap of e-mail folders without
sub-foldering and have my own little Linux 'utopia' o
Hi,
What we do, on the dovecot side, is:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=mAildir
See: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir
This has been working out very nicely for many years.
I'm not sure though that there is a way to 'move' to that config without
having to ba
Hi All, please be kind, this is my first e-mail to the list :-)
I actively support CentOS based e-mail servers running Dovecot,
Sendmail, Spammassassin and 3 x SOGo based setups.
Dovecot is my goto IMAP server and have used it and modifications to it
to net excellent results for years.
