No, and I don't want it to happen anytime in near future. The dbox format is highly Dovecot-specific, because it relies on Dovecot's index files. These index files are still changing and I'm not sure if they will ever be fully finished. I don't want any other software to even attempt to implement the same functionality. > My question was how are we going to use it if Exim doesn't support it. As others said, use LMTP or dovecot-lda with Sieve filtering.
