Wil, After reading the man page and <http://rimuhosting.com/knowledgebase/linux/mail/Postfix mbox to Maildir conversion> I still have a couple of questions they don't answer. At least I don't see the answers there. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have: # DELIVERY TO MAILBOX # # The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a # mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default # mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify # "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required). # #home_mailbox = Mailbox #home_mailbox = Maildir/ # The mail_spool_directory parameter specifies the directory where # UNIX-style mailboxes are kept. The default setting depends on the # system type. # #mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail and my mail is delivered to /var/spool/mail/rshepard where alpine sees it as INBOX. I also have a directory ~/mail/ which contains the mbox files for individual mail lists and other categories where I save messages. My two questions are: 1) Do I create ~/Maildir and uncomment that line in main.cf in addition to ~/mail, or as a replacement for it? 2) If the above is 'yes,' do I create that directory prior to converting the mbox files to maildir directories? I'm running cyrus SASL, not dovecot. Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
