Please > let me know if I'm wrong, but this isn't OT, nor is it ISPConfig related. what is the question then? is it how to configure dovecot to use maildir or how to configure the MTA (postfix, sendmail, ...) to deliver to maildir or how to configure the MDA (maildrop, procmail, ...) to deliver to maildir? if it's to configure dovecot to use maildir instead of mbox, then the dovecot list and docs are a better place. the short answer is something like mail_location = maildir:/var/Mail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir in dovecot.conf. but we cannot reproduce dovecot documentation here. but you'd better have the MTA or MDA deliver to the same place. the easy way is to use dovecot LDA as your delivery agent.
