I just upgraded to Fedora Core 2 from Fedora Core 1. Discovered that UW-IMAP was replaced with Cyrus. Not quite ready to switch to that mail box format so I instead installed dovecot which comes with Fedora Core 2. The RPM version is: dovecot-0.99.10.4-4 The problem I am having is that it seems to want to put folders in: ~/mail/mail/ I would like the folders to be in: ~/mail/ Currently in ~/mail/ there is a .subscriptions file. Am I stuck with having my folders be in ~/mail/mail/ ? Is there some configuration change that I can do? Thanks, John -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

dovecot-bounces at dovecot.org wrote:> No, he means in your dovecot.conf fileOh. Oops :) Initially I had nothing. And then went with the following: #default_mail_env default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u John -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Set this empty and it works like you want. Alternatively set default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
