vsm-style Maildir?
This seems like it would be a common question, but I haven't found a clear answer. I would like to merge the stability and speed of Maildirs with the administrative convenience of VSM (nice, clean, all-in-one directory tree). I've tried starting qmail's rc with something like env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start /var/spool/mail/$USER/ splogger qmail after doing a maildirmake on /var/spool/mail/$USER, but I get the dreaded Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir error. I've only set up qmail with regular vsm support before Could someone point me in the right direction or tell me why I wouldn't want to set this up this way? thanks -drew

I use safecat and a small tool that calculates hashed /var/spool/mail names for this. This should work for you: (untested!): env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|maildir /var/spool/mail/$USER/' splogger qmail where 'maildir' is the maildir tool in the safecat package.

Alternatively, you could put '/var/spool/mail/username/' into each user's .qmail file. Greetz, Peter.
vsm to Maildir
Okay guys and gals. I see lots of utilities to convert from mailbox to Maildir, but nothing to move from vsm to Maildir. Has anyone written a utilitiy to do this? Or am I going to have to do it the hard way and copy everyones vsm to mailbox then convert it to Maildir?

Um, mailbox in /var/spool/mail (aka vsm) are in mbox (aka "mailbox") format. -Dave
