dovecot - Sep 2009 - Upgrade Question about mail_location

Hi,

I plan on upgrading from 1.1.13 to 1.2.4 using an RPM.  I have read the
wiki [1] and have a question about the mail_location variable.

Currently, in 1.1.13, I use:

mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%h

with virtual mailboxes.  However, I am planning to change it to use:

home=/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes
mail_location = maildir:%h

as part of the new configuration.  Is that correct or have I
misinterpreted the wiki?

Thanks,
John

Where does home come from? What userdb do you use?

Hi Timo,

Thanks for your reply.  I guess I must have misread the wiki.  Here is
my current conf settings:
> dovecot -n
# 1.1.13: /etc/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.3 (Final) ext3
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
listen: *
ssl_listen: *
ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/eliteswa-cert.pem
ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/eliteswa-key.pem
verbose_ssl: yes
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login
login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%h
mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
auth default:
  passdb:
    driver: sql
    args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
  userdb:
    driver: prefetch

I am using PostgreSQL for a database backend.

I guess my real question, then, is how do I use the new mail_location
when I want it to point to /var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%h?

Thanks,
John
