dovecot - Dec 2022 - Seen Flags per User

location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEXPVT=%h/public

Probably works better. INDEXPVT needs to point to a *per-user* location. Now
you're just sharing them with everyone.

Hey,


thanks for the explanation. I implemented it but then i get the 
following error in the logs:


Error: userdb didn't return a home directory, but location used it (%h): 
maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEXPVT=%h/public

I authenticate the users via LDAP (Active Directory)
