I'm still trying to find out if anyone knows the correct
way to either switch the existing Maildir multiple file format to
the single file format I believe known as MBox.

Fyi, Timo has designed a new higher performance format known as dbox,
for which there are two versions, you can read about here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox
But you only want to use it if you are on more recent versions (at least
latest 2.0.x).
Failing that, though it'll mean a LOT of work for me to manually
convert all of the existing Maildirs, how do I get dovecot to
work in future in MBox single file format.

I tried entering 'mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/%h/%u' in
the 'dovecot.conf', but it still saves each message in a file of
its own in the /new /cur /tmp directories ??
The wiki/docs are pretty thorough for basic settings...
