Introduction
This article describes how to convert from mbox to Maildir format. Maildirs have quite a few advantages over mbox format, especially when you have a lot of users with large mailboxes. Another big advantage is that with dovecot and Maildirs, users can create sub-folders.
These notes are specific to my situation. I wasn’t able to find a complete guide to doing this anywhere, so hopefully it’ll serve as a good guide to others. My system uses:
- Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r2
- dovecot (POP3 and IMAPS)
- exim4 (exim4-daemon-heavy)
- procmail (some users have a ~/.procmailrc and there’s [continued…]

Legend:
- R : Root, user role
- S : System Accounts
- U : User Accounts
In general order of increasing security.
Do not send passwords in clear text over the network
[RSU]
As a general rule no protocol that transmits unencrypted authentication data over a network should be used. Examples of insecure protocols are telnet, ftp and the r* tools. All modern Unix and Linux systems ship with secure alternatives as default, and either no longer contain or require manual intervention to enable legacy protocols.
Where legacy applications demand use of insecure protocols, [continued…]
imported from wiki, 9 October 2010 Starting a Window Manager

startx
to force a normal console-login to start your desired window-manager. Graphical login managers use the underlying configuration file:
~/.xsession
While startx uses:
~/.xinitrc
Although, if no ~/.xinitrc file is present, startx will read ~/.xsession quite happily.
Initially (unless you have added one to /etc/skel/), these [continued…]
