2 points: dovecot & Fedora list

[Joel Jaeggli]

when you ready this on dovecot.org org what in it makes you conclude that 
it doesn't support mbox format?

	Dovecot can work with standard mbox and maildir formats and it's fully 
	compatible with UW-IMAP and Courier IMAP servers as well as mail clients 
	accessing the mailboxes directly. I have also plans to support storing 
	mails in SQL databases.
