Although this list seems almost inactive since Mark Crispin's regrettable departure, I place my query here with the hope of a reply from the users' community. I also sent a message to the alpine-contact address listed by Mark in his last message, but no reply followed. I intend to switch the incoming mail inboxes on the system I am administering to the alternative mix format. I compiled and installed imapd 2007a and it works fine, but there is one feature that I was not able to use. Mailboxes in the mix format (or any alternative format) are recognized, but the messages from the Unix mail spool are not snarfed into these mailboxes. On the other hand, pine 4.64 is able to snarf messages from the mail spool files into the alternative inboxes it recognizes, as stated in the documentation. The name and path for these inboxes were set according to the documentation (i.e., INBOX for mix or mbox for mbox, placed in my home directory), but imap clients do not see them as inboxes. On the contrary, pine run directly on the mail server detects these mailboxes as inboxes and snarfs the messages from the mail spool.
I know that tmail delivery is a better alternative, but for the moment, lacking a test system, I have to resort to a gradual and maybe partial migration of the mailboxes. The load on the system is not important, so snarfing should do the job. Besides, I am not sure that tmail works out of the box, and I kannot afford risky tests on a production system.
