Mbox for user

Hi,
on AIX, when creating an imap user, should we create mbox file? How? Is it a standard mbox file template?
Thanks.

HI @big123456,

IMAP usually uses Maildir (directory structure), not Mbox (flat file) format. As soon as an account receives its first mail, a Maildir structure is created under $HOME/Maildir, provided the mail server (dovecot, postfix, exim4 etc.) is configured accordingly to deliver mails in that format. Further information can be found e.g. here: https://serverfault.com/questions/564456/what-are-the-practical-differences-between-maildir-and-mbox/564458.
