dovecot - May 2007 - Migrating to Maildir -> path

Hello,

I'm in the process of migrating to Maildir, and I wondered what would be an 
acceptable path.
I want to do virtual-accounts only, so $HOME/Maildir/ is not an option.

I was thinking of /some/path/username at domain.tld/Maildir/
and later perhaps /some/path/(firstletter)/username at domain.tld/Maildir/

but perhaps Maildir/ is a bit too redundant here....

Anyone who could advice ?

Many thanks,

Wouter

Hi Wouter,

We do this already, whereby mail is stored like, for user at domain.com, in 
/some/path/domain.com/user.  The paths are stored in a virtual user 
database in PostgreSQL which Dovecot authenticates against.  And yes, 
/Maildir is redundant, unless you plan on storing any non-mail stuff in 
the same user directories (e.g. web pages or something.)

Andy.
