Here it is for the archives. The UW imapd package as shipped by redhat explictly removed the use of the mbox file in /home/$user since imap-2000. I am not sure about the mbx format but I id get it to work as expected by installing the imap-2001a-10 src rpm and commenting out the following lines in the spec file #Patch3: imap-2001a-mbox-disable.patch and further down: #%patch3 -p0 -b .mbox-disable-patch cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS I then built the binary rpm using rpm -bb imap.spec I guess this did not piss off everyone like it did me since there is little to no discussion on this outside of bugzilla but I REALLY dislike user data like this chewing up (and keeping chewed) space in my /var partiton. Hope this helps some on as they are rebuilding an old mailserver and all of a sudden the old Inbox mail is gone.
