Hi, I'm just setting up a new dovecot system and wonder why I get this error. On another dovecot system this works with no problems. Log entry when exiting MUA Thunderbird: ==========================Nov 16 20:16:35 myhostname dovecot: imap(info at mydomain.de): Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: file_create_locked(/var/mail/vmail/mydomain.de/info//dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: safe_mkstemp(/var/mail/vmail/mydomain.de/info//dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: No such file or directory ========================== Is this double slash between /info//dovecot.auto... okay? I believe there should be a "Mailbox" in between? Configuration in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxed.conf ==========================namespace inbox { mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk autoexpunge = 90d } ========================== Maybe you can help me a bit. ;-) Michael

HENRY: Why can't all these God just get along? I mean, they're omnipotent and omnipresent, what's the problem?
