Hi everyone, I have noticed recently that Dovecot creates lock directories under users' Maildirs which look like IMAP folders. This is bad since users will see IMAP folders that are not supposed to be there. In my logs I see dovecot: imap(...): Error: file_create_locked(/.../Maildir/.vsize.lock) failed: Is a directory The directory in question # ls /.../Maildir/.vsize.lock/ cur/ dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist maildirfolder new/ tmp/ so Dovecot seems to think this to be an IMAP folder. I am using Dovecot 2.2.27 under Debian, built from source, the lock_method is set to fnctl, and the quota plugin uses the maildir method. Can somebody advice me on how to fix this?

This is a configuration issue, not a bug. use mail_home=/path/to/some/directory mail_location=maildir~/Maildir that is, make sure the mail location is under mail home (even for virtual users).

This is from my config
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
and in my userdb-ldap.conf
user_attrs = \
... \
=home=%{ldap:homedir}, \
...
Am I missing something?
