But, I suppose maildir was invented for a reason... :-)
Maildir is there to keep you from screwing up, if you have several
10.000' mesages in your folders... My own ~/Maildir/ holds now
around 7 Million messages in around 1400 Mailfolders...
One of the biggest folders are <debian-user> 490.000 Msg, <lkm>
420.00 msg and <debian-user-german> 230.000 msg.
Try to open such Mailboxes without Maildir...
And if new messagers are arriving, lockig will kill your nervs.
That makes sense....
I have the following in my /etc/procmailrc file
MAILDIR=${HOME}/mail
If I change that to
MAILDIR=${HOME}/maildir/
How can I then redistribute all my old mail so it is in the new format?
And will that have any adverse affects on my Dovecot IMAP server?
Thanks,
Don
