I have been using uw-imap on my mailserver. I tried briefly to use dovecot with the default config. It seem to work faster, but users imap folders (user accounts are in openldap) disappeared. Is there a sample config somewhere I can look at to get some idea how to configure dovecot so all the imap folders users created will appear when I make the switch? Most of my users login via Horde. Server is an FC6 box, dovecot installed via yum install. -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools

When setting mailbox_location to : mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u Users have inbox, trash and sent folder, but none of the other folders that they have created in /home/Username. Their home is defined in ldap. -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools

Have one of the users go into the Horde folder subscribe page and see if their personal folders are displayed there. With other clients, e.g. Thunderbird, it is necessary to force the client to resubscribe to the folders when changing things.

I tried to subscribe to them. They dont show up. However, new folders can be created. Looks like dovecot created a folder in /home/user named mail, and Maildir. mail has userfolders in it and Maildir has their inbox. Does this sound right? Currently my users inbox is /var/mail/spool/mail. ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools
