[Dovecot] maildir autodetect failing. what's wrong with this setup?

i'm setting up for virtual_users w/ maildir.

i have in my dovecot.conf:

 auth default {
  passdb passwd-file {
   args = /etc/dovecot/imapd.passwd
  }
  userdb static {
   args = static uid=300 gid=300 home=/var/dovecot/mail
mail=maildir:/var/dovecot/mail/%d/%n/Maildir nice=10
  }
 }
 default_mail_env
maildir:/var/dovecot/mail/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%d/%n


in /etc/dovecot/imapd.passwd, i have:

 omn at server.com:{PLAIN}pass:300:300::/var/dovecot/mail:::

i've created:

 /var/dovecot/mail/server.com/omn/Maildir/cur

but, on login @ telnet with:

 x login omn at server.com pass

i see:

Your userdb static's mail overrides the default_mail_env. Probably
better to use:

args = static uid=300 gid=300 home=/var/dovecot/mail/%d/%n and nice=10

default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%d/%n

If you're using userdb static, there's no point in having anything else
in here than just "user:pass".

mail=maildir:/server.com/omn/Maildir      nice=10
This doesn't look anymore what you showed above. Have you set
mail_chroot or something? Or just show what "dovecot -n" says.

I suppose you're trying to use $default_mail_env in namespace's
location? That won't work. Just don't set location at all and that does
it.

i didn't originally *think* so, but i was seeing odd behaviors, and got
confused.

changed to:

	omn at server.com:{PLAIN}pass:::::::
>>  omn at server.com     static  uid=300  gid=300   home>>
mail=maildir:/server.com/omn/Maildir      nice=10

nope. or, at least, no knowingly ...
> Or just show what "dovecot -n" says.
