And some time spent on it, to reorganize I'm sorry, but whut? You stand up a Dovecot IMAP server with Maildir. > data, convert mail formats, etc., which if I'm being honest, I'm > loathe to spend. What I've mostly been trying to say is I have the Data and format conversion is simple: you don't. You use something like isync (mbsync) to copy your existing mail stores to the new server and let it do the heavy lifting. Or you can set up multiple mail servers with your MUA of choice and copy your mail from the old store to the new. Either way works. There's your mail storage. Assuming you have a working MTA: use Dovecot's deliver tool to deliver mail to users' inboxes. This applies to both direct delivery from the MTA and when using Procmail. Done. -- Rich Pieri
