[Dovecot] Mail being delivered to mbox instead of Maildir
I thought I had Dovecot configured to use Maildir instead of mbox, but apparently it is still using mbox. Excerpt from dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir Excerpt from sendmail.mc: MAILER(dovecot)dnl dovecot.m4: ######################################## ### DOVECOT Mailer Specification ### ######################################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u Thank you Sean Smitz

In that case you should see deliver logging "saved mail to INBOX" lines. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
