I am using dovecot 2.2.27 with plesk 12 and I have made no modifications
to the dovecot config.
my log file frequently (but not always!) reports errors that
/tmp/dovecot.imap could not be created.
The errors don't appear for every imap connect but for about 5% to 10%
of the time.
I already attempted to solve the problem by adding the following line to
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf but that did not remove the error:
mail_temp_dir = /tmp
So why does dovecot mostly work without errors but sometimes fails to
create the /tmp/dovecot.imap?
..excerpt from /var/log/syslog...
dovecot: service=imap, user=user1 at mydomain1.com, ip=[::1]. Error:
Temp file creation to /tmp/dovecot.imap. failed: No such file or
directory]: 1 Time(s)
dovecot: service=imap, user=users2 at mydomain2.com, ip=[::1]. Error:
Temp file creation to /tmp/dovecot.imap. failed: No such file or
directory: 10 Time(s)
