hi,
Orignially, I have :
*mail_location = mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u* that
I change to : *mail_location =
maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u *
The verdict..; This part : work fine for : *maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:*
but does'n't work out correctly for? : *INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u*
2 possibilities :
1) I've tried NOT to give access to Mail access on INBOX and I didn't
succeed in making it understand that I want my /var/spool/mail/%u to
move to the "MailDir" part...
2) I give access to the INBOX. I leave as it is... but the problem is
:Sendmail is using /var/spool/mail%u? ( where %u *is a file* )?
and*Dovecot who needs to get a folder *and to get %u/tmp ; %u/curl; etc....
So, that way this is incompatible..? what is wrong ??
Please what should I do for this INBOX part ?
Thanks
