Hello Michael, thank you very much for your work and information. This looks good. Please be aware that you might also have some changes in AV-Spam for collecting mails in caughtspam mail folder.
Best regards,

Ah, I see. Here is what worked for me:
[root@jarvis ~]# cat /etc/procmailrc
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
MAILDIR=$ORGMAIL
[root@jarvis ~]# cat /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf|grep ^mail mail_location
= maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs
So I now have that sorted for 5210R and the result is in the BlueOnyx
"5210R-testing" YUM repository. Attached is a screenshot of the new "Network
Services" / "Email" GUI page.
As you can see there:
The Email server is configurable: Sendmail (default) or Postfix.
You can set the "Mailbox Format": Mbox (default) or Maildir.
Additionally there is a checkbox "Convert Mailboxes". If ticked, it'll run a
conversion of all mailboxes that currently have emails. It'll convert *to* the
format that's chosen under "Mailbox Format" after you save.
So you can change the format, save and then can go back later and can convert.
Or you can change the format *and* tick the checkbox to convert the mailboxes
and save only once.
HOWEVER: The mouse-over helptext makes it clear that this is risky, that it can
fail and that the recommended way is to do the conversion of mailboxes from the
Shell in SSH as "root" via this little tool:
[root@jarvis 5210R-Postfix]# /usr/sausalito/sbin/mbox_maildir_convert.pl
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ BlueOnyx Mbox/Maildir & Maildir/Mbox converter │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
usage: /usr/sausalito/sbin/mbox_maildir_convert.pl [OPTIONS]
Example: /usr/sausalito/sbin/mbox_maildir_convert.pl --mbox
Example: /usr/sausalito/sbin/mbox_maildir_convert.pl --maildir
--mbox Converts all mailboxes to mbox format
--maildir Converts all mailboxes to maildir format
-h|--help This help text
That will do the trick quite nicely.
Additionally "base-blueonyx" has been updated with provisions that once the
mailbox format has been set and /etc/sysconfig/bxmbox is present, then
/etc/procmailrc will not be messed with anymore during YUM updates.
Code changes for the Mailbox feature:
https://devel.blueonyx.it/trac/changeset?reponame=&new=3877%40BlueOnyx%2F5210R-Postfix&old=3872%40BlueOnyx%2F5210R-Postfix
And here is the code for /usr/sausalito/sbin/mbox_maildir_convert.pl:
https://devel.blueonyx.it/trac/browser/BlueOnyx/5210R-Postfix/ui/base-system.mod/src/blueonyx-mailbox-converter/mbox_maildir_convert.pl?rev=3873
For mbox to maildir conversions it makes a call to /usr/sausalito/sbin/mb2md.pl
(it's inlcuded).
For maildir to mbox conversions I hacked something together based on a few
code-snippets that I found elsewhere.
It basically checks /Maildir for subdirectories containing 'cur' and 'new'
subdirectories. If it finds emails in them, then it escapes single quotes and
cobbles it all into a new mbox file.
When you DO a conversion and a target "mbox" or "Maildir" are already present?
Then they will be renamed and that backup is then left alone.
