Hello, I'm running the latest version of dovecot on Linux with mbox mailboxes. Everything works fine. So in my dovecot config I have mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

I would like to now change the mail_location for one user in an attempt to slowly migrate to Maildir format. I'm confused how to do this. I'm running shadow passwords:

$: doveconf -n passdb
passdb {
  driver = shadow
}

Testing any given user gives:
$: dovecot user sarah
field   value
uid     1478
gid     116
home    /home/sarah
mail    mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/sarah
system_groups_user      sarah

What would I have to do to make only sarah's mail_location ~/Maildir now? My userdb is:
$: doveconf -n userdb
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}

I tried following the wiki's but its confusing. Thanks for any help or tips.
