dovecot - Oct 2021 - two different mail_location

Hi everybody,

my mail system has all users in usual path ~ .

Only one user is in /var/%u .
This user doesn't receive emails.

I guess it is because its $HOME is on a different path than the one 
specified in dovecot mail_location which is:

 > mail_location = maildir:~/%u/Maildir

What's the best way to solve this issue ?

Namespaces ?

If so could someone explain me how ?

Best Regards

Gabriel

Return `mail=maildir:/var/%u` from auth. See
