dovecot - Jun 2006 - upgrade from beta9 to rc1 - lost access to messages and folders

Hello All,

Upgraded a test machine this morning from beta9 to rc1 and lost access to 
messages and folders.

an strace on the imap process shows it accessing the home directory, but 
not the mail directory.  The two queries that I use are:

password_query = SELECT email,crypt as password FROM users WHERE email = 
'%u'
user_query = SELECT homedir AS home, maildir AS mail, 1000 AS uid, 1000 AS 
gid FROM users WHERE email = '%u'


In this example, homedir=/var/spool/mail/filer/storage and 
maildir=cfu.net/b/r/breu

Under beta9, it finds the homedir/maildir correctly as 
/var/spool/mail/filer/storage/cfu.net/b/r/breu.  Under rc1, it accesses 
/var/spool/mail/filer/storage//mail/


What did I miss during the upgrade?

I don't think I changed anything special in there..

Mail directory shouldn't be relative. Also it'd be better not to rely  
on Dovecot's autodetection of mailbox format. Change it instead to  
something like:

.., concat('maildir:', homedir, '/', maildir) as mail, ..

Maybe I should change the code so that relative paths are guaranteed  
to work, or guaranteed to fail. Currently I'm not sure why it would  
or would not work.
