Ahh, across the LAN. :-) Networking :-(
from your mail data flow diagram: (plus your IMAP server is haggis)
fetchmail -> postfix -> SpamAssassin -> maildrop -> Maildir
All those programs run on haggis?

Changed to maildir ages ago. Never regretted it. Simple as changing the

"path/to/folder/"
I was thinking more of the directory structure compatibility.

Right. So postfix will need be informed.

So everything is under INBOX?
So a cp ~/.Mail/ ~/.Maildir/ won't work.

Is that for local LAN delivery.
Better start reading some basic docs, if there are any, before I get too
confused.
Thanks for your help.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
