I have the beast running. I found out that I had to create a directory
where dovecot can write indexes and such things to.
# dovecot -n
# 1.0.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
log_path: /var/log/dovecot1
protocols: imap imaps pop3
ssl_disable: yes
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login
mail_location:
mbox:/var/spool/vhosts/%d/dovecotprivate/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n
mail_debug: yes
mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap
mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap
mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3
pop3_uidl_format(default):
pop3_uidl_format(imap):
pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv
auth default:
passdb:
driver: passwd-file
args: /etc/dovecot/passwd
userdb:
driver: passwd-file
args: /etc/dovecot/passwd
So in dovecotprivate directories for the indexes are stored for mbox-users.
This works, I had to set permissions to 777 for dovecotprivate so that dovecot
can write into it. I don't know if this is a security-risk.
The /etc/dovecot/passwd then looks like this:
# anup.de (maildir)
m...@anup.de:{PLAIN}passwd:5000:5000::/var/spool/vhosts/anup.de/mail::userdb_mail=maildir:~/
u...@anup.de:{PLAIN}passwd:5000:5000::/var/spool/vhosts/anup.de/user::userdb_mail=maildir:~/
# anup.de (mbox)
us...@anup.de:{PLAIN}passwd7:5000:5000
us...@anup.de:{PLAIN}passwd8:5000:5000
Works great and dovecot can handle both maildir and mbox for one domain.
And this solved also the problem with Squirrelmail. The setup is not fully
testet yet.
Thank you all!

Hello!

reason: Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes
That's for user7, right?
The cause of that error is SquirrelMail (using IMAP) is trying to create a
mailbox as a child of INBOX, but since user7 is defined as using mbox
format, that fails. If you use mbox storage, an IMAP folder can have either
messages or subfolders but never both, because when using mbox an IMAP
folder containing messages is a file, while an IMAP folder containing
subfolders is a directory. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox
for more info.
There *should* be some way to make SquirrelMail stop trying to create its
folders under INBOX, but I have no idea if there actually *is* one. Some
IMAP servers only allow the creation of folders as children of INBOX, and as
a result some (broken) IMAP clients only know how to create folders that
way. You can accommodate such software in Dovecot by using namespaces.
I think you should start by reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation and
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces to understand your options.

This is not about POP3 and IMAP, it is about storage formats. POP3 and IMAP
are both able to use either maildir or mbox storage. Users are not
restricted to one or the other access protocol, no matter what storage
format they use.
