Just wanted to thank everyone for suggestions, but I give up
on dovecot.
I checked dovecot alternatives today, but it seems that cyrus
is the only (good) choice for mbox format, and even cyrus seems
to use a directory structure of its own. So dovecot seems to be
the only viable option for me at this time.
I have wasted too much time on this problem, got to get back to
real work. I will return to FreeBSD 9, where both dovecot and
tmux works fine. FreeBSD 9.3 has EoL in 2017, so I might be back
with OpenBSD dovecot questions in 2017. :)
Thanks for trying!
Peter
