And don't forget that you have to pre-create a /home/Maildir directory,
writable by the user.  That doesn't happen automatically (procmail
will add the new/cur/tmp subdirs, though).

Has anyone come up with a way to make an IMAP server automatically
move messages from mbox to Maildir as you connect?  I'd like to
deliver to /var/spool/mail in standard mbox format and let pop
users download directly from there, but if someone is using IMAP,
move to $HOME/Maildir/ and pretend they were delivered that way.
Of course a .procmailrc can force it per-user but I'd rather not
need to know ahead of time or teach people how to do it.
