Yes, this could be a solution for me to get individual mboxes
for every email address hosted on the server. But
'add-popa3d-user' doesn't allow usernames containing dots
('.'). I could fix this in the perl script, but I think this restriction
has its purpose, probably for security reasons.
So I don't have a clue how to separate the mboxes from
each other.
