Error: User bob@aaa.bbb doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database
I made a mistake when I moved dovecot to a new server and only specified mail_location instead of mail_home All I have in 10-mail.conf is --------- mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n ------------ All emails for the few accounts I have are in these mailboxes and I can get/see them via my mail client I do, however, get the following error -------------------- imap(bob at aaa.bbb): Error: User bob at aaa.bbb doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database ------------------- After looking at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home I tried the following -------------------------------- mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail ------------------------------ Problem with this is that I now can't see any of my emails in the client. Appreciate any help on how to fix this. Thanks

So, if you want to use it like that, you'll have to move the maildir for each user to that new path template. Regards, Stephan.

Yes, that is what I did and it all works apart from the error message on the server about the missing home dir The doc seems to indicate that a home dir is needed.
