I am no expert on either or anything , but I would be worried that concurrent
file access and the indexing could cause grief if they share the same directory
from my HTC

But my evolution was setup first and it's been there for a long
time. So that means all my emails are in 'evolution' format. If I where
to turn it around I would have to convert my emails to whatever mail
format my IMAP would have.
Why do you think that it would be inviting trouble? Is the
evolution maildir different from the standard maildir? And as far as I
know IMAP, or dovecot in particular, will not touch the files unless
you send emails or delete emails.

Hi,
I wanted to access my emails in Evolution. My 'Receiving Email' setting
is '...folders manage by Evolution'. As I know this means that my emails
are stored in Maildir format. Now I wanted to access these emails
through IMAP, in particular using dovecot.
Would there be a problem if I just point my
'mail_location=~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local'? I don't plan to
send or delete emails through IMAP. I just need to read them.
Thanks.
